In my experience, when bearings begin to fail, it is perfectly normal for them to only make their whine/howl at a certain rpm range. It is MORE common for the problem to occur at low rpm and stop at high rpm, but it happens in reverse at times as well.

I would imagine you're right -- you simply have a bearing that is beginning to go out. Replace it before it siezes.

First thing you need to do is isolate it.
