Could quite easily be - according to what the noise sounds like. Wheel bearings on their way out are generally a low rumble.

Low brake pads would be my first guess. Or power steering - does it do it when stationary?

If it's easy to make the noise, you could lightly touch your brakes while doing a right hander to see if it stops or changes the noise - could be a brake wear indicator?

I'd take the wheel off and have a look if I were you.
