Default Whineish Sound While Cruising

Yup yup, 6th gear, cruising 50-60mph theres a whining kind of sound, doesnt happen when im cruising around same rpm under 50, cant tell if its over 70 since it motor and road noise drowns it out.

i think a video should work better.

wheel bearing is my guess?

i have the same noise as well

did you try and wiggle your wheels while it's jacked up?

the only notable noise i got when my diff was during tight turns. then i changed the diff fluid and that specific noise went away.

but i still have this noise now. it could also be from my tires. i'll have to do the wiggle test sometime.

^^jacked the car up and changed the diff fluid mobil1 75w-90, noise was still there

gave all the wheels a good shaking and they are tight as hell, nothing seemed loose in the drivetrain either.

no vibration while driving or anything, when its in neutral or clutch is depressed it goes away.

turning or straight doesnt affect, im still scratching my head.
