That has all the characteristics of a bad wheel bearing. Probably your driver's side front if you can feel it in the pedal and it gets louder in right hand turns (right hand turns load the driver's side suspension components... which puts more load on that wheel bearing). Probably sounds like a wha-wha-wha noise?
We call 'em "WHA WHA WHA WHEEL BEARING!!!". Should cost you $200-$350 to get it fixed depending on where you go. Good luck! If you want to check to make sure yourself, jack up that side of the car... the wheel probably has some play in it if you grasp the tire from the 12 'O clock position, and 6 'O clock position, and rock it in towards the engine and back outward towards you (pushing with your hand at 12, pulling with your hand at 6, and alternating).
