Do you notice anything unusual lifting the wheels off the ground and turning by hand? It should be completely silent when you do that. Also there should be no play or wobble when you pull on the tire (top to bottom and side to side). Check all 4 wheels one at a time.

Turning left shifts the weight of the car onto the right side wheels, so that suggests the problem is on the left side typically a wheel bearing.

It's not going to make the same noise. If you hear ANY noise turning a wheel without the weight of the car on it, it will get a lot worse with the weight of the car on it.
