A CV joint usually makes a pronounced clicking noise as you accelerate out of a somewhat sharp turn and then go quite while driving strait.
A wheel bearing will make a constant groan/drowning type noise, which may change in volume with speed or while making slalom type maneuvers or lane changes.

HAHA sorry i laugh b/c i pretty much had the same exact post not too long ago.

CV-joints: first thing to go usually is the rubber boot. it tears and lets the grease ooze out and sling all over the place. other times they make noise. most times they make a POPPING noise when makinge parking lot turns. Some CV joints make a rythmic clicking noise.

wheel bearings, make a distinct deep rolling rumbling noise. more serious wear will make the noise rolling straight ahead. However the early stages tend to make the noise under the load stress of making turns.
