Does sound like bearings, and they are prone to going once the miles go up

this whirring noise, does it vary with engine speed or road speed? road speed will be drive train related (wheel bearings/diff/gearbox) engine speed (pas pump/alternator/idler etc)

mine sounds like an electric motor and I'm pretty sure it's the pas pump so I've just left it for the moment
