Hearing a rotational noise that starts around 20 MPH and remains at the same volume and type of sound. Does not increase with speed but remains at constant level until slowing below 20 MPH. Just installed 4 new tires this week and made no change.

Hi,

Can you tell approximately where the sound is coming from? Also, is there any change in the tone or pitch if you make a turn?

I'm questioning if it is a wheel bearing. Although I would expect it to change with speed, anything is possible. Let me know if it seems to come from the front or rear.

If it is loud enough for you to record and upload, please do so for me to hear it.

Take care,

Joe
