I'd always think about the wheel bearing first in this case, unless you have a good reason to rule them out, especially since your other possible culprits are more expensive.
The comment about the noise changing with gear changes is a good one.
I had a 97 C280 with a metallic whine (roar) that sounded like it was from the rear at 60,000 miles. After replacing the wheel bearings, it was dead silent.
It's very difficult to diagnose noises over the internet. You're probably better off with a professional's opinion after a real test drive.
