1995 Buick Century..Intermittent 'whooping' sound comes from left front tire. I'm trying to diagnose problem. Could it be a wheel bearing? What should i look for to nail this down?

Yes, it could be. Check for play in the bearing by pulling on the top and bottom of the wheel while jacked up. On my FWD car, it was a hub assembly, not the old $5 bearing that gets replaced.
