Can a failing wheel bearing make a pulsating noise instead of a continuous groan?

I'm getting a RRR RRR RRR sound in right-handed sweepers, comes and goes, but the right turns always bring it on.
Already swapped wheels/tires since I bent a rim recently, but the noise is still there.

I replaced mine last week and it was the sound you describe. Any wheel shop can tell if it WB
Just get the car up and rotate the wheel. Should be able to hear. Mine was LOUD and it happend fast.

What about it? Just because you jack up the RF wheel the car wont pull off the jack.
Ask me how I know this...2000 4.2A6. I just did it.
