You can tell if its a wheel bearing, by driving round a high speed bend.
If you go round a left hand bend the n/s/f wheel slows and the o/s/f wheel speeds up and also more load is on the o/s/f wheel. So if your whine gets louder with a left hand bend and the whine drops on a right hand bend, then its your o/s/f wheel bearing!
