Do you have a snorkel fitted they make that noise driving around
1 could be bearing on vacuum pump on end of alternator
2 could be bearing in your belt tensioner
Place a long screwdriver in the area you think it is and use like a stethoscope

what tyres did you fit??????

[johno1938]

brigstone deuler different pattern
not sure if ill get the same miles out of these

Could even be your AC Clutch Pulley too Johno, but check as TD says with a long screwdriver with one end resting on the suspect part, and the other against your ear......

Just be careful though, as your engine will be running, and you don't want to get anything caught up in the belt or fan.
