Ditto.
Similar noise (no vibration) in my Ur-q at the moment, seems to be rh front,
starts at around 30mph when it is loud enough to be heard over the cd
player, reduces in volume as speed increases. Current suspects - wheel
bearings, gearbox, differential, cv joints, propshaft, tyres.
Wheel bearings - appear ok when wheels rotated by hand, no noises.
Gearbox - Noise doesnt change in different gears, or even if coasting down
hill.
