Truth be told, all the bearing failures I've known haven't shown any noise issues. Brake pedal can drop on low speed applications from experience tho.

Beckys sport had a bearing go, that sounded awful. I'm sure if u jack the wheel up and spin it you will know. Also see if there is any movement if you push and pull the top and bottom of the wheel in and out from the car.

I'm leaning towards thinking it is a driveshaft bearing of some sort but its an unknown system to me.

Get it checked out ASAP as when a bearing collapses fully it will cost more money to put right.
