I’ve been experienced some whirring sounds and vibration at the front of the vehicle. The noise seemed directly correlated to the speed of the car (the faster the car is moving, the higher pitched the whirring is). I’ve had a wheel bearing replaced as well as a cupped tire, but the sound/vibration persists. Any idea what it could be?

Not without more info about the car, its mileage, the transmission you have, the engine type and size, how old the tires are (all 4 new? 2?) why the bearing was replaced, and finally, a better description of the noise.

Post back and we’ll try and help.
