You just diagnosed a faulty wheel bearing, and if you are correct, it is right side. A growl type noise that disappears with turning inputs is prime symptom of a bad wheel bearing/hub. If you raise the vehicle and run it up, you may be able to hear the noise with a stethoscope(or equivalent) placed on the spindle near it. This could be how you will differentiate which side is bad. However, they are both the same part, so you could switch if need be.
