Excessive noise - 182

[Mr Pants]

Hey guys,

Not sure what to search as I can't really think what the issue is. Not particularly technical, sadly.

Past week or so when I'm driving the car sounds really noisy from the inside. Not just the typical Yozza drone. It kinda sounds like a plane taking off, just not quite so extreme. But it's loud enough that I can hear it over music unless it's really turned up.

Not sure where to begin with troubleshooting?

Any help appreciated.

if its like a drone noise could be wheel bearing

Checked exhaust for leaks?

Not sure it's the exhaust as it's not like a growl or anything and haven't noticed any leaks.

I can hear it when driving normal around 2500-3500 revs I guess. Saw on another thread somebody had a noise that was due to the sealing ring from the manifold and cat had perished causing an air leak. Might be something like that?

Is it related to engine noise or road speed? If its road speen most likely be wheel bearing.
