Re: 2005 Volvo XC90 whirring/Humming Noise

I'm thinking to start with a rotation/balance/alignment and see if that solves the problem but wanted to get some input from some of the members first.
I spoke with my brother-in-law and my father (both techs) and the consensus is that you have a bad wheel bearing on the right rear. They recommended getting it checked out very soon as they can break leading to further damage.

I hope this helps!
