The dealer's checked the wheels and hasn't reported any issue with the bearings. I've done about 45,000 km. No, the noise in fact seems to reduce (or probably isn't audible due to other noises such as wind, bad road surface, etc) at higher speeds. It is most audible at the lower speed mentioned. It's a hum, but sort of a fine, grinding hum. I'm no engineer, but aren't there other rotating parts - such as the bits from the engine that drive the front wheels? Not sure if the dealer has inspected all that. I will have to take it back to them to have a very thorough check.
