Default Clunking noise in drive front end over 25mph - Wheel Bearings?

Just rotated my tires and after about 20 miles of driving it, I started to hear a weird clunking noise that would get louder the faster I drove.
I'm suspecting a wheel bearing but it's not a grinding noise or anything like that. Sounds almost like I have a bent rim but that's not the case.

Tomorrow I'll be replacing my wheel bearings but just wanted to get an people's opinions of what it could possibly be.

Check the tightness of the wheel nuts again.

Wheel bearings don't usually clunk.

When you say the wheel nuts, do you mean the 5 lug nuts or the axle nut?

Feeling really dumb right now. Just checked the lug nuts and I forgot to torque them down
