Wheel noise - faster i go, faster it goes....
I have this noise that only happens when i am moving, and it gets faster as i go faster, and slower as i go slower.... the best way i can describe this noise is kinda like a squeek, or somewhat like a bag in the wind noise?....
Any ideas?

Is it from one specific wheel...Left or right.....does the noise go away or fade when you turn one way but not the other.....Possible wheel bearing. Inspect the suspect side if nothing is obvious jack that specific side up and try to wiggle the wheel (push on one side pull on the other...and vice versa) if there is play in it...it’s the bearing.

While your at it you might as well check how many volts the flux capacitor is putting out. Should be around 14.4.
With that being said, I'll repeat it again, check bearings, brakes, maybe even bushings. Good luck.

There's plenty to do outside my room but I choose not to!

it's either wheel bearings or brakes. drive along side a building like an industrial area. cruise up to a speed where you hear the noise then hit the brakes if the noise goes away while you're on the brake then that's the prob if the noise is still there than it very well may be a wheel bearing.

make sure u'r brakes are properly seated, cause if they hang over the rotor just a bit they won't wear on the very edge and go over the side of the rotor and make a scratching noise, and also check out your shims, if they are loose they will rub on the edge on the rotor and make a scratching noise, i siliconed mine cause they were driving me nuts

how much are wheel bearings to replace?.... i did jack it up, and move the tire and i heard a noise.... so it could be that....
I only hear the noise when i am driving next to something...i.e. wall, or sidewalk which reverbs the noise...

^^ it is the wheel bearings as people mentioned above ... i had the same problem and it turned out to be a wheelbearing ... the bearings itself arent expensive but installation is ..atleast for me ..it runs around 400 - 450 for a pair ...
