I have a 1993 Volvo 240 I purchased new almost 17 years ago. Recently there is a strange and annoying whining noise from the rear right it is audible only over 50 mph. Is this tire noise or someting more serious? Otherwise the car is great. Always well maintained.
Could be tire noise, could be rear wheel bearing, differential (if rear wheel driven), or could be something associated with the brake.
Try swapping the tire with another tire. If the noise moves with the tire, it's the tire. If it stays, it's brakes (unlikely for the noise you mention), rear wheel bearing, or rear differential (lack of oil). Will probably need to have a mechanic to identify and repair.
