I used the same method as when I did my 380SE about 4 years ago which is still OK, the american way of tightening snug then loosen and finger tight. No gage.

The only "noise" I have ever heard when a front wheel bearing went out was the rubbing of the disc against the calipers. This would go away temporarily if the brakes were applied for a moment. If there is too much play, by misadjustment, then the chances of hearing the same noise are likely.
If one, or more, of the brake calipers are hanging up it would generate a similar noise.
