if you are on a bumpy road it is either your bushings (swing arm, shock tower, ball joints, ends etc) or your control links, those are the ones that hold the sway bars etc....those make a hell of a rattle when they shake around on bumpy roads.
the sound of wheel bearing is this slow grinding/clicking noise, not CV joint clicking but rather it sounds as though there is a little bar being flicked. You will hear it when going in a straight line, driving slowly, awful scraping sound, both moving in reverse and forwards, it will sound as well when making a turn but not the same as a CV joint that's dead/dry. One real easy way to check your wheel bearing is to jack up the car on the side you suspect is bad, high enough so that the tire clears the ground and see if you are able to shake the wheel, there should be no play in the hub at all. If you can shake the tire and it obviously goes side to side, then wheel bearing = dead.
