Wheel bearing?

Hi everyone,

 

Can anyone identify this noise? (Apart from the road noise) usually gets louder on motorway and high speed

Do the sound changes when you are on the curve on the motorway? Test it on each direction , it will give you more information

Good point I'll try that. I have noticed also when driving slow locally that there's a noise when turning left only and a kind of scrunching/creak when going slow over humps ? Wonder if it's related. Almost as if something is broken

Could be this....

this sounds like it could be suspension top mounts. 

if you're stationary and go from lock to lock, does it make the noise?

Possibly I'm going to try it today and report back. I had a suspicion it maybe suspension related

So on stationary the sound isnt there but only when driving low speeds and over humps or turning left.

  Check every wheel by using the jack to lift it up, spin and check for noise, also try to move the wheel left right up down, you shouldn’t have excessive play. If you still are not sure, drive with someone in the back, he could identify better where the noise is coming more exactly

So just a heads up/update on the dreaded noise issue has been resolved thankfully. Turns out it was a wheel bearing afterall 😀. So interesting to note for anyone with similar issue in the future there was no play at all during repeated checks from several garages/techs. Just noise over 70 and vibration at faster speeds.
