Default 96 cavalier wheel noise

Hi, I'm new here and not sure if this is the right area to post this but....... i'm having an issue with my 96 cavalier. at around 35mph+ i have a humming sound coming from the front tire, gets louder the faster i go, i was thinking wheel bearing but im not so sure. i jacked up the front end and tried to see if there was any play in the tires and there is none. i also secured the car and accelerated it in the air and no noise, its just when it has a load on it. no cracks on the cv boots nor clicking, no vibration on the wheel, doesnt pull to the side it stays driving straight if i let go of the wheel, calipers are not locked up, tires spin freely. when im turning to the left the noise isnt as loud and when i turn to the right it get louder and more consistent. everyone keeps telling me it needs a passenger side wheel bearing but i want to be sure and get some input. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.
