A new noise, speed dependent howl

So out of the blue I have a new noise, at about 15 mph and up to freeway speeds I have a howl that gets progressively worse. I jacked up the car and noticed a wheel bearing had some play up front so immediately I replaced it. At the same time I checked out 4 corners.

Basically I still have the noise and the problem was not the wheel bearing. I have since tried to turn and see if the noise got worse or quieter and it is the exact same, no difference in turns, on throttle or brakes.. I am officially stumped here. My next guess would be trans related which I pray it isn't... Am I missing another cobalt related front end flaw?


I have an 06 ss/sc G85 with 120k

Everything seems to point at wheel bearings is it possible another one is bad too? If you're sure it's not that though I'm stumped, sorry.

My next step is to swap wheel bearings again and see if it makes a difference. I'm wondering if the LSD is keeping a load on both wheels when turning and that's why my noise is constant while turning..
