When I make a left turn there is a low growling coming from my tire it almost sounds like something is rubbing on my tire. I checked and there is nothing visible. I did a little research and found it might be a wheel bearing. I am not sure but I was slowing down on the highway and it made a similar noise like grinding I thought it was my brakes, but I am not positive. I have driven it daily for a week and the only time I hear anything is when I turn left. Any ideas? Or am I correct?

It could be a wheel bearing. Drive car in a circle one way then opposite the noise you hear will be on the opposite side of car like a left circle check right bearing etc. As that wheel spins faster so noise will be more predominant. Also, with bearing off you may feel a rough turn when you spin by hand slowly.
