Writing on behalf of a friend who has a recent model Vauxhall van that has
developed a strange noise.

The noise is a low-pitched whine from the front end, related to road speed
rather than engine speed.

It doesn't seem to be coming from a particular side (left or right front
wheel), and is most evident on a straight road at around 40mph.

Wheel bearings seem to be okay.

Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi,

Might be a bad CV joint or differential?

John.

Thanks John.
I'll pass on the suggestion.
