Tyre/wheel Noise (Audio Clip Included)

[zoomzoom]

I have some low roaring noise, which seems to have a rhythmic nature (like every rotation of something). Ive included a sound clip from inside the car, the sound is most obvious when coming to a stop, when there isnt much other wind or road noise. Best listened to with headphones. Any ideas on what it could be?

ps, I think its one of the front wheels, but its hard to tell.

Might be a wheel bearing, or binding brakes.

The sound clip sounded like white noise for a while then a bit of whale song

Im really hoping its not a wheel bearing. I can rule out the brakes I think. I did a big suspension overhaul, including new front brake rotors and pads. The noise was there before and after the work.

The low whale noise before I come to a stop is what to listen out for, not the general road noise.

I dont have any play in the wheels, though apparently that isnt enough to say that all the wheel bearings are fine.

does sound like a wheel bearing sound..

or possibly bad tyres?
