Make sure lugs are torqued to spec. Costco didn't tighten my right front and it gradually made more and more noise till the wheel almost fell off.

You can usually flush out a wheel bearing problem and isolate it down to that by going into an empty parking lot and doing long sweeper turns in either direction. If you hear a deep groaning noise while you do that in either direction, it's the opposite side wheel bearing (of the direction you're turning) that's worn (the loaded side). So if you turn to the right and you hear the noise, it's your left wheel bearing, and vice-versa.

You can also lift the front end of the car off the ground and test each front wheel bearing for free play separately by grabbing the wheel at 12 and 6 O'clock with your hands and pushing on the outer edge of the tire with one hand (at 12'Oclock) while you pull from the inner edge of the same tire with the other hand (at 6 O'clock) and then switch them up and do the same thing but switch which hand is pulling and pushing. You should see no play in the wheel if your bearings are tight.
