Is one side louder than the other? that would probably mean wheel bearing. Jack up the car and shake the suspect wheel from side to side and see if the bearing is fucked.

Yes, one side it louder than the other.

I have to check again if the sound dissappears when I turn.

the sound will disapear from the wheel thats makin it when you take the load off it. so if your left wheel bearing is bad , when you turn left it will quiet or go away. if its not a wheel bearing or doesnt disapear than it could be a trans bearing , one of the differential bearings maybe , axle.

Easiest way period. Jack up the front of your car so the wheel is not touching the ground. Grab the rim if you can physically wiggle the rim with the lugs tight then it is probably your wheel bearing. That is the way that I figured the problem out on my car.
