not too bad a job.. I usually replace them with a complete second hand hub.
I would suspect though that since you can hear a noise and a bearing hasnt yet collapsed, that it may be a CV joint rather than a wheel bearing.
You dont normally get much of a warning with a wheel bearing.
The CV joint bolts have a habit of coming loose too.

Keep an eye on it, there’s a significant chance there’s something wrong with it.
Personally I would change a bearing that had come loose.

Might be an idea to use Loctite on the hub nut - when you have torqued it up put some white paint or tip-ex on the end of the thread & the nut - easy to check if things have moved by removing the wheel centre.
Not sure if the nuts should really be re-used though

The driver's side one on mine kept undoing itself, so we put the old nut on as well as a locknut. It's been like that for years now and no more problems.
