During my first jurney of the day ( car is cold ) i get a loud vibrating noise , it sounds like i'm traveling on the white lumpy line on the side of a motorway . this noise happens when i'm gently accelorating . if i accelorate harder it stops , if i brake it stops , when the car worms up the noise quietens down . i had a lot of play in my front wheel bushes , i've had them changed but the noise hasen't been fixed
Usually noise complaint can be pretty tricky to repair. especially if its intermittent. since you say it only when its cold my first guess would have to be a wheel bearing. some other things you can check is how the tires are wearing. when you rub your hand along the tread is it smooth or does the tread catch your hand. if your tires aren't wearing smooth noise complaints can be heard while slightly turning, braking, or even accelerating.also if its a wheel bearing you can lift the vehicle up in the rear (turn off your dsc) and run the rear tires up to speed. usually you can hear a loud wheel bearing. also you can drive the vehicle and swerve back and forth and see if the nosie changes. depending on which side of the vehicle suspension is being loaded
