On my W210, I heard a very slight noise, one time only, and before I could pull over the spindle was fried.
The w210 is surely well insulated and hearing noises is quite hard but in any case the usual cause of wheel bearing failure is worn out grease, specially in winter time, synthetic grease is a good option as it will work even in very cold weather.

I repack my car's bearings when its time to do a longer service like changing ATF, fresh, new grease is better than spent out wax looking grease.
