One wheel turning faster than the other is normal if both wheels are off the ground. If one wheel is dragging when the other wheel is on the ground, it could be brakes or a wheel hub bearing. Usually if the noise happens on right turns, the left hub bearing is failing, and vice versa.
if it gets louder and faster as the engine speed increases then a piston is knocking...if it is just at idle like you said then it could be a bad oil pump if oil light is on at idle or it could be the connecting rod knocking on the crankshaft because it is loose.
If your noise is a low pitch rumble that gets louder the faster you go, it likely is a wheel bearing that is the cause. Another sign that the noise is from a wheel bearing is if the noise tends to get louder when steering one direction at a steady speed, and quieter when steering the other direction. A transmission noise does not change with the steering.
Yep, That was it. i followed a link to trailvoy.com and found a video with the same noise and links to how to repair. My husband fixed it yesterday and the noise is no more!! Good Luck..
If it's wheel bearings, they should get louder the faster you go. Also, if you have one going out, loading up the suspension on that side will make it louder. For instance, if you have a bad front left bearing, and you take a right-hand turn at speed on the highway, that will load the left side suspension since the car will roll to the left. The noise would get louder. Similarly, if you took a left turn, and the weight shifted off of the left side, the noise would go away.
Try jacking up the car and grabbing the wheel at the top and bottom and shaking it hard. If you get any play or looseness in the wheel, chances are the bearing is bad.
