Wheel bearing....and how much to fix.
Discussion
The car sounds like it has a wheel bearing on the way.
Recently the has been a slight rumble/drone from the front of the car. The noise changes frequency with speed. Its just started to get intrusive, and I've noticed that turing the wheel to the left decreases the noise, and turning the the right increases it slightly.
Whats it going to cost to get a bearing changed, and is there anything else it could be?

That does sound like a wheel bearing but it's not always easy to tell if it's front or rear. You'll have to test it to know for sure.
If it is the front then it's not a difficult job to DIY. If you can change a front brake disc then you are almost there already!
