I vote wheel bearing

Your symptoms sound just like my own with a failed wheel bearing. The noise will get worse as time goes on until it's unbearable and you have to change the bearing. Try the simple test of turning one way then the other to see if the noise gets better or worse.
The driver theory can be discounted I think because the rumble does not change with accel or decel, which is when a worn driver will make its presence known IIRC.
Axle clicking in sharp turns would indicate bad CV joints, which you've ruled out.
I would doubt that the noise is motor mount related - if it were, the noise would be engine speed related, not wheel speed related.
Good luck and let us know what happens.
