I posted something pertaining to this but it's gotten worse. At 38 mph- 60mph then after 77 mph I hear a rhythmic humming. It happens about once a second no matter my speed. I am just now starting to be able to feel a slight pull with the vibrationing humming. I go in on Monday to check it out. Any ideas what it could be? My husband says a wheel bearing but I think it's more than that. It's a 2012 Q5 with about 50,000 miles on it. New tires and an alignment a few weeks ago. Didn't fix the issue.

I hope your car is still in warranty, you are at the 4 year, 50K mile range limit right now.

On a deserted road at the slow speed where you hear the noise, swerve the Q5 back and forth, across the highway. If in one direction you hear the noise, and then no noise in the other direction, usually indicates a bad wheel bearing.

I've done the swerve test. It does it regardless. Speed is the only thing that matters and I've sat shot gun and the vibration and humming sound is the same in the passengers seat as the drivers seat. I did purchase the extended warranty. I pray this is covered.

I just find it weird that the speed is so specific.
