Wheel bearing or halfshaft on the right side possibly.

doesn't make sense that you'd hear it more turning left though. WHen you turn you load the outside wheel bearing, that's usually indication of which one is failed. I'm not too sure what it could be.

can you explain "warping sound" in any more detail? Like are your brakes dragging, or is something rubbing your tire, or is it a hum or what?
