Sounds like a bearing has gone bad but not sure if it is a CV joint or the wheel bearing. How can I tell the differance?

Hi:
If the noise changes at normal driving speed when you turn, most likely a bearing. If at a low speed (2 or 3 MPH) you turn the wheel the entire way and drive in a circle and hear a clicking, then it's a cv joint.
The bearing will make a humming noise, the CV joint will click.
I hope this helps.
