Sounds like a left side wheel bearing to me. At speed on a straight-away you should be able to modulate the noise by weaving left and right. Little or no noise to the left, increase to the right (loads the left wheel). Be sure to check your rear-view mirror before this manuever! It's unlikely that this is the cause of the left drift however, since it sounds like you're early in the wear cycle. You can defer this maintenance for a while. It will be obnoxiously loud before it gets close to failing. The good news is this is a very easy task as wheel bearing go. The 9000 bears a bolt-on, vice press-in.
