Hey all.... so weird one, I have a 2018 FL Sportback... done 21k miles and last 2 days it’s making a weird sound that I can only describe as similar to the drone a plane makes whilst flying!

A quick google of “why does my car sound like a plane” and one answer came back as wheel bearing.

Anyone experienced anything similar?

Otherwise it’s handling fine and no warning lights, tyre pressures are ok...

It’s booked into dealers next week but who knows if they will figure it out!

Thanks in advance!

Wheel bearing starting to go?

Does the frequency of the sound change the faster you go?
 
Wheel bearing. Well it was in my A4. With the car jacked up no noise or roughness when the wheel was spun. Hears a video before it was changed. I suspect that it was caused after I hit a pot hole a few weeks earlier. Noise appeared shortly afterwards and steadily got louder/ more noticeable.
