the sound of a bad bearing

I though that my driver's front wheel bearing was bad so I took the knuckle off tonight (those LED headlamps are REALLY useful!). One I got the knucle off I was a little dissappointed. Although the bearing isn't completely silent, it does make a very slight grinding/whirring noise when its spun (very different than my new SKF bearing on my desk - that's completely silent).
that said there's no play along the axle axis.
does the presence of noise indicate that it is bad or should I take off the other knuckle to compare (I've got all the ball joints covered with anti-seize, so pulling the knuckle only takes about 45 minutes).
