Hi Tomkat,
As long as something is not rubbing on the wheels/tires this is more than likely a wheel bearing. Normally, if you load and unload the wheels by gently swerving back and forth when it is making the noise, it will change in pitch or intensity. If it does then this is a wheel bearing noise. If not, it could be a tire making the noise.
Let me know if this changes anything or what happens when you do it and we can go from there.
