Wheel Bearing or CV Joint?

Heyo!

Just a quick question.

I've got a humming that goes away tuning right and gets louder with speed. That's my right wheel bearing, correct?

My left CV Axle boot is damaged and is leaking and it sounds like the humming is coming from the driver's side of the car. That's why I'm a little hesitant. Could it be that?

I've already ordered a new wheel bearing, just need to go and pick it up from Cascade German but I wanted to make sure that it being the CV Joint wasn't a possibility.

I have both a bad bearing and axle on my car at the moment. The bearing simply hums at certain speeds (60km/h and 120km/h in my case). The cv joint on the other hand does all sorts of funny noise, and it also shakes.
