Best Answer

A bad wheel bearing is always noisy. As you drive the car, steer it like you are changing lanes( to shift the load on the bearing) and listen for a change of pitch in the noise. If it is bad it will change pitch. Wheel bearings have to be REAL bad to cause vibration; are you sure you don't have a bent rim/ bad tire?

How does the pitch of your voice change when you catch a cold or when you sing?

The pitch of your voice depends on how fast your vocal chords vibrate. The faster they vibrate, the higher the pitch. When you sing you use your muscles to force them closer together causing them to vibrate faster. When you are sick, your lymph nodes swell causing them to get closer and vibrate faster producing a higher sound.
