At any speed, 70 or 5 MPH, a loud roar begins, perhaps in the left rear. If I apply the brakes, the noise stops but usually comes back when I release the brakes. Sometimes the noise will stop when I steer to the right. I have had much work done on the brakes in the last 6 months but the noise is still there

I suspect the roar is from a worn wheel bearing.
