This is caused by a bad wheel bearing. to locate the right wheel jack the front wheels up and check for the wheel being loose, or with car jacked up in the air with front wheel off the ground put it in drive and see if you can listen for the noise, you may be right with the right front but just double check, good luck, hope this is helpful.
Turn the engine off and inspect the power steering fluid level.
Top off to the correct level.
Check the power steering belt for ATF / grease
Check for loose belt.
The normal deflection is under 1/2"
====
Also check for any power steering fluid leak under the high pressure hose and the power steering rack.
Placing a cardboard underneath the front portion of the car is the easiest method.
====
An air pocket in the power steering fluid will cause this noise.
Power steering hose and rack will fail after 160,000 miles.
Start monitor for leak and the power steering hose will be the first step.
====
I recommend you to let a service station to inspect these hoses.
Inspection require moving these hoses.
These hoses can give out without any warning.
When the high pressure side hose and the steering rank give away,30-60% will leak downward to the ground.
2 quarts+ power steering fluid will stain the driveway and parking pad.
