Could be tyres, wheel bearings, differential issue, amongst others.

 

Try swapping the wheels front to back to start with and see if it makes any difference

 

A more detailed description of the noise or a sound clip would help. Does it alter when you go round corners?

hello xman

thanks for the interest

noise stays constant around corners  - just had another look all seems ok bu noticed because it has always been low at the front i do tend to catch the front plastic panel next to the front wheel when parking front on to the kerb which is hanging down wondering if it was just wind noise !!!

if it was bearing or dif wouldnt the noise be costant at all speeds !!

 

thanks again

As Xman has said try swapping wheels from front to back and vice versa.

 

My son had this on his 2016 1.2. it was tyres. If it was front bearing I'd expect it to change going around sweeping corners etc.

thanks big john 

will give it a go looking on tube there videos showing same symptoms pointing to wheel bearing !!
