This sounds like either a wheel bearing has gone bad or, if your car is front or all-wheel drive, you have a half-axle going. Either of these can leave you stranded when they fail completely, and they can be dangerous. Get this noise checked out by a competent mechanic now!
well,if it doesnt change with the wheel turned a little it might be a rear wheel bearing or even a couple of loose lugs on a wheel,or even a brake pad worn down to the rivets,can u give a better description of the noise? (metallic,dull thumping,etc...)
Sounds like a belt slipping. Check the tension and wear on your belts.Seems like it's always the alternator belt, so check that first. If the belts are fine it may be your fan clutch.
if the noise isassociated with "wheel speed" then it is in the rolling parts... axle hub bearing brake rotor caliper wheel or tires...if it goes away on right turns then you are unloading or separating the issue then...so a hub /wheel bearing /axle issue is most likely...does your brake pedal pulse when you feel it..(riding the brake while driving)..does the steering wheel shimmy ?
vibration not as bad when you let off of accelerator
