For about 1-2 weeks now I've had a low frequency wa-wa-wa noise (reminds me of a helicopter blades at slow speed) inside the cabin. The noise seems to start above 20-30MPH, then gets faster as the speed increases. The speedometer seems to flutter a little as speed approaches 60MPH.
I've checked tire pressure and lugnut torque. Because of recent surgery I wasn't able to get under the vehicle to perform a complete tire wear check, but I didn't see/feel anything while it was parked.
Can a failing wheel hub, axle bearing, u-joint, driveshaft, or differential cause this? I just assumed it was the differential until I noticed the fluttering MPH needle on the dash.
