Growling and humming from the rear
My first guess is another wheel bearing but I wanted to see if there is another possibility. The only reason I am wondering is the strange behavior of the noises. At 40ish MPH the sound is kind of a growling/moaning noise and is strongest when coasting down a hill. At 70ish MPH the noise is a high pitch hum. What is most strange is that the hum fades in and out on a regular period. It is almost like the beating you get when you pluck two strings of a guitar that are supposed to be the same note but are slightly off from each other.
So is the bearing still the #1 suspect or can it be something else?
