Pulsating Whine noise Sign In

Whine begins after 30-60 km/h, only changes pitch at different speeds. Braking, RPM change and aggressive steering does not alter the noise. Sometimes the noise would start/stop after hitting a bump on the road. The link below is a video mainly for audio showing the noise.

Anything rubbing on the wheels/axle shafts? Anything loose on body (plastic shields, weatherstripping)? Look closely at the front of the car checking for things that could vibrate at speed. Also look for those little "animal repelling" "ultrasonic" air horns.

Look like this.

Didn't see anything that stuck out, everything is coated in salt so I would've see some area with it rubbed off. Is this possibly a bearing?

Re: Pulsating Whine noise Sign In

I've never heard a bearing make a high pitched whine like that. That noise is made by something thin. Bearings are a lower growl type of noise. Get a very good look at the thin steel shields behind your brake rotor. If they were making light contact with the rotor you can hear something like that. They could be rusted up and starting to move easily, and hitting a decent chunk of snow would be more than enought to push it into making contact with the rotor.
