The only absolute test is to check both sides while the wheels are turning using a mechanics stethoscope.
I have found that 85-90% of the time it will be the bearing on the same side to which you are turning when the noise is loudest, on Front wheel drive cars with integrated double roller bearings which are the most common type. Also note that if you a planning on changing the bearing yourself, know that they are press fit bearings in most applications which means that you will need a press to remove the old and install the new bearing.
