Wheel Bearing??

[Magnet]

If you think it’s an off side wheel bearing, then do a left hand turn and see if the noise becomes louder. 
N/s bearing suspected - take a right hand turn and see if the noise gets louder.

I think it might be slightly louder when steering right , so im thinking left hand bearing , only very slightly louder , to be honest if the radio is on you'd hardly hear it , so im thinking its only getting rough rather than gone . Its booked in for a service in 3 weeks so im hoping it should last until then . At least now I know its not the tyres , the tyre shop gave the 2 that were on the car a good check and confirmed that the tyres weren't the problem,  so my garage wants to check it tomorrow to confirm but won't be able to do the job until 3 weeks time . To be honest I've had bearings in the past that would drown out the radio . 

The noise stays while coasting so it shouldn't be a gearbox bearing as its there with no load and the gearbox is acting very normal   , so im thinking for sure wheel bearing .

Thanks Jon,

If it were mine, I would now put in in the ‘don’t worry about it box’ pending the car getting looked at by the garage.
No disrespect, but you appear to be dealing with this in a patient and medical specialist basis, whereby you are trying to diagnose something you are about to pay others to diagnose for you.

Ya there is definitely a noise there while driving , faint but there.  Think its my OCD telling me its the worst thing ever ,like differential or transmission humming , when it could be just a wheel bearing on the way out . Its a case of wait and see if suppose.

Be sure John, something else will crop up to occupy a worrying mind!

Shows how "noises" are difficult to quantify without examination !!
