Don't mind the oil light being on. It just turned on this morning on my way to work.

DON'T DRIVE WITH YOUR OIL LIGHT ON!

Or your car will soon make NO noises on the highway... because you need a working engine to get on the highway!

Check your oil level/add oil before you use the car again. Seriously.

Is there a vibration that resonates with the noise? Do you hear any noise while turning at low speeds? I'm thinking maybe a bent cv shaft but I'm just guessing - for what its worth.

Metro,
I looked at the video and the light that is on is the oil change light. No harm in driving with that on unless you go for a REALLY long time before changing the oil.

HA! Thanks. I hadn't seen the video yet and assumed the worst.

After listening to that, bad tire(s) still fit as an explanation.

Have you isolated where the noise is coming from (front/back/left/right)? Which wheel bearings were replaced (front/rear)?

[Regina]

Both front wheel bearings were replaced. The driver's side was again replaced a few weeks after the first time. If I had to guess where the noise is, I have to say right under the driver's side from the middle over to where the pedals are. Mind you I never seat in the passenger side.

Hi,

Did you find any solution to your problem ? I face similar problem too.

Late last year I had what I thought was a front wheel bearing that sounded awful. Turns out my mechanic said it was a brake pad starting to seperate. The original rotors needed to go as well. New pads and rotors, and now all is good.

is it any louder than it seems in the video? I would say that sounds like tires to me too. Like MetroMPG said. I can't say it is anything specific, honestly through half that video I was debating if i was listening to the heater fan.

The noise I hear can easily be tires with too much toe, gets louder with speed, etc. Which is the alignment, which they should have done with the bearing was replaced. When my bearings, and cv joints go, you usually hear a slight clicking around turns, or something. Your noise stays steady and even the turn signal at the end is as loud as the noise.

If your mechanic was competent, and you even had the bearing done a second time, he should have ruled out everything else.
