I had to have 2 new wheel bearings, sounded like a loud rumbling at speed, so looks like you've got the same problem

Soon realy it can damage the hub if lef.
Life span depends though how bad they are I'd get them done ASAP just for good maintaince practice.

humming noise when? alll the time or just between certain speeds?

my rears only did it after 50mph bu think my fronts are dead and they do it all time, sounds like tyre noise but its gettin ridiculous now cant be tyre noise.

 

[Danith]

what other symptoms should i be seeing/feeling/hearing if front bearings are gone??

 

[Fred@BTM]

one wheel bearing costs £200 fitted?? eh!

bearing is £20-£35 (depending where you get it)

take the rear disc off yourself

£20 to a garage with a press, bish bash bosh done

 

[Danith]

what about fronts tho? are they same as rears and pressed into disc and jobs a goodun?

 

[Fred@BTM]

pressed into hub, bit trickier to get the hub off

 

[hitharder]

easy way of checking, take the wheel off, lift the car up and turn the wheel mount, if it makes a noise its ya bearings!

I had the exact same problem. Put it down to tyre noise to start with. I's just got some new tyres on and I thought, I wont be buying these type of tyres again.
Then it steadily got louder and louder. Far too loud for tyre noise.
Cost me £140 at a Renault dealership to get a new wheel bearing fitted
