Does the noise change when veering to the left or right?

IS there any play in that wheel ?

Using push/pull movement check wheel off the ground at the 9 and 3 position and also at the 12 and 6 position.

By description, I am leaning toward axle aa the axle is under load when accelerating but the wheel should be checked to make sure all else is tight..
