RE: Noise Solution???
The biggest problem with noise diagnosis is the customer's complaints that are lost in translation when they have to speak to a service advisor, who often doesn't know a spark plug from a steering wheel. Then, they have to write a repair order and explain to a technician what the customer's issue is. It's such a crappy way to get things done. Often, direct customer to tech contact or a tech riding with a customer to verify the complaint will answer many questions and pinpoint issues well before the car is put on a lift.

I had a similar tirenoise, took it in 3 times to Jaguar dealer. The first 2 times they balanced the tires and i paid 60 each time. The noise continued. It was a whirling noise from the tires. The third time, i told them to look at the bearings. Long and behold, the left front bearing was bad. They replaced it and no more annoying noise.

I must admit to having a drumming noise from the tires. I am sure it is tyres as when I ran Pirelli P Zeros the car was silent. But since changing to some used Michelins I get this constan drumming noise. Thought it was a damaged tyre and wheel, but had these replaced and noise still there. In for service & MOT soon so guess if it is more serious than tyres I'll find out
