Question Noise

OK..since i skipped the basics of automotive technology .. ...the last 3,000 miles i have been hearing what "sounds" like a bearing noise from the front passenger side area, could be under the hood, or the wheel bearing not sure.It only sounds off from 35-55mph either with the throttle on or off in gear ,or out of gear, same noise..and it goes away after 60 mph, and nothing under 30 mph.Would a wheel bearing make this noise?Or could it be something under the hood like the A/C gurgling? Thanks!

The wheel bearings on the 4X4 make pretty distinctive sounds when the begin to fail. The noise will usually get louder on a sharp turn that puts stress on the bearing. The usual worn wheel bearing noise is a clicking and scraping sound that changes pitch as the steering wheel is turned from side to side.

I would suspect the brake "squeaker" that lets you know the lining is too thin is clicking on the disk is the noise maker.
