Bad wheel bearing or tire?
Whenever I get up to a speed of 35 m.p.h. or more with my 98' Accord, a
vibration and corresponding bumping noise begins. This noise is very rapid
sounding even at slower speeds. I can get on up to roughly 65 m.p.h. and the
noise continues. If I slightly turn the wheel to the left at pretty much any
speed over 35 m.p.h. the noise completely stops temporarily until I
straighten the wheel back out or turn to the right; which makes it even
worse. At least it seems that way.
The tires are almost new Bridgestone Turanza LS-Hs. They only have about 600
miles on them now. If it were a bad tire that is causing the problem, I
don't understand why the noise will completely stop when I slightly turn the
vehicle at cruising speed. This is why I would lean towards a diagnosis of a
bad wheel bearing. It appears to be coming from the left front wheel area of
the car.
Lastly, can a bad CV joint produce this same type of noise with these
particular types of Honda cars?

It sounds to me like it could be a bend in the rim or the wheel
bearing. You could jack up the front left of the car and run the engine
to spin the wheel.

Here are a couple of links to two of my old posts where I describe how to
check the wheel bearing, ball joints, and front suspension for loose and
worn parts, http://tinyurl.com/nbord and http://tinyurl.com/m45r8. Follow
the procedures I've described and then let us know what you find.

bearing is a good candidate, but is usually accompanied by a rumbling
noise. jack the wheel off the ground and check for play.

For what it's worth, I'm on my second set of Turanza LS-Ts. Both sets have
worked great for me and my last set lasted about 65-70K mi. Moreover, many
other users of this tire that I know of have not had any problems. Though
that doesn't exclude the possibility of one bad apple in the bunch, it just
lowers the odds somewhat.

I would rotate the tires and see if the symptom changes.
While you have it up, check the CV joints.
