Ray,
I do not notice any change in the sound during a long sweeping turn
such as an offramp. I do notice that the sounds changes in frequency
exactly with wheel speed. volume does not seem to change much by
speed though.

If the other stuff checks out, I still think the wheel bearings are suspect.

I had a little wreck once and the body shop had to bend some
structural things back into shape. The body shop didn't get it right
and the engine was in a bind and it caused a vibration and noise until
the places where the motor mounts connected to the unibody were properly
aligned so the motor mounts could do what they are supposed to do,
mainly eliminate vibration and noise. I suppose to check this out you
might find a car the same as yours and compare the engine movement.

With the laser body alignment machine that was used on the OP's car, the
body shop can put the car pretty much back in its original condition,
assuming that the body shop technician hung all of the targets properly and
pulled until everything lined up.

It's very difficult to tell from here, but the possibility exists. And yes,
it would probably be expensive.
