Default Front wheel bearing noise?

Just started getting a 'wa-wa-wa' noice. Seems to be front-left. Has gotten progressively louder last week or two, but certainly not screaming-loud. Can feel it slightly in the gas pedal. My first thought is a wheel bearing assembly. Car has 50k on it, but it did sit for a couple of years. Good first place to start?

Thanks,

Ultra.

I'd start by rotating tires front to rear to see if the sound changes - you probably have flat spots on the tires considering they sat for a couple years (unless the car was on blocks)
