Wheel Bearing Noise - Rumble

Bearing rumble sounds like marbles being tumbled. This condition is usually caused by a worn/damaged wheel bearing. The lower pitch is because the wheel bearing turns at only about one-third of the propeller shaft speed. Wheel bearing noise also may be high-pitched, similar to gear noise, but will be evident in all four driving modes.
