Default Noise when driving

Hi all, i have an AudiA4 2004. The car is perfect and has given me many years of trouble free driving. Recently, I have encountered a noise problem when driving, especially on motorways when the car is travelling in a straight line, there is
a constant noise coming from beneath the car. The only time this noise abates is when you turn the steering wheel to the left, the noise disappears but not when you steer to the left.

I recently removed and had to re-fit the under cover beneath the car, I had to re-fit with some screws as the original lock nuts were broken. Would this have some baering on this problem?

Any help would be appreciated

many thanks

Sounds like a wheel bearing.

Indeed, sounds like a faulty wheel bearing.
