funny noise while driving!

it sounds like tyre noise but i've never heard it before. Its not a wheel bearing i know that cos the wheel doesnt shake while im driving. a wierd vavavavavava kinda noise and its driving me mental.

May be flat-spotted or out-of-round tyre

sorry to hijack, glide mine is making that strange noise with the AC too, have you approached the dealer about it yet?

Golfman are the tyres directional. If so are they facing the right way. I know this sounds silly but happened to a friend when a mechanic rotated there tyres.

It would be quite unusual for a bearing to be making noise in a 2006 car. Any evidence of abuse? I'd recommend moving the wheels (say, front to back) as a test before you take it in.
