Having been through a few lately, wheel bearings tend to be very subtle until they are very, very bad.
That said, they really *should* get much louder under load, meaning weaving. Admittedly this is clearer in the front than in the rear.
I assume you have eliminated anything in the induction system that is motor speed dependent.
Also look at the CV joints - they can make some odd, rhythmic noises - although when they begin to fail they emit the more characteristic "knocking" sound - but that's a pretty heavily damaged joint.
And yes, vacation is a scam. use it or lose it. But, oh, can you fly to Geneva and fix this? So sorry.
Happy 4th

No amount of turning/swerving affects the noise. The noise has been very sporadic... MarcW - 7 years ago |

Hi Marc,
I hope all is well.
I seem to recall someone saying that the coke bottle wind sound is possibly related to something in the evaporative emissions control system. I used to notice this sound from time to time--at slower speeds--on my '00 S. It seems like it originated from the passenger side (outside the car somewhere). I didn't do anything specific about it, and the sound eventually just disappeared. Not sure if this is helpful.
Kind regards, -Rick.
