Ya B rated for noise

Just back from garage , defo wheel bearing not sure if right or left , can't hear it spinning wheels by hand , but right was done last year so I think its the left same side as cv joint was replaced on . Being done in 3 weeks , said its safe out to drive until then no play in wheels.

Ha ha thanks that sounds very encouraging!

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.

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 .

Off to garage in morning!

Update , 2 new tyre on front, so new tyres all around , still humming . So my only other thinking is a wheel bearing, on same side as the cv joint was changed on .

Getting new tyres tomorrow and gonna move the odd ones to the back . Gonna try for a mid range to premium brand , depending on cost !

Would the unmatched at the back not make the humming also ?

I was hoping video would give an idea of what it was , you can really hear it at 31 seconds in .

I would apart from the fact that they are getting close to end of life thread getting low and would rather the deeper thread on the front.

Hankook the other wheels , like I said I had a blowout and that tyre was the only one available at that time .

My initial thoughts on the noise was that it had something to do with the outer cv joint that was changed as it started within 2 weeks of the job being done , but I have never heard of a bearing or humming noise from a cv joint . It was too much of a coincidence in my mind , but I suppose coincidences do happen after all . Thanks for all yer replies gang , as always ye were very helpful.

I'm going to leave it run for a while as there is no play in any of the wheels and if it is a bearing it will only get louder and will know for sure then, it's going for a service in 3 weeks so it would surly be worse by then if its a bearing. And if its only an tire issue I can live with that until new tyres are called for , by the way the tyre i got was a Roadx brand and thats the only one they had in my size 255/35/ r20 at the time . Don't know what they are like for road noise . Thanks

Hi I actually have got 2 new front tyres in the last month , and unfortunately they are 2 different makes in front (had a blowout and had to get a different tyre in emergency) , could be onto something as the noise is worse on smoother surfaces and not so noticeable on other surfaces . If thats only the case i can live with a slight humming. But to me if definitely sounds like a rubbing noise or bearing noise , is that possible with tyres?
