If I coast in neutral, the noise is fairly pronounced and I'm wondering if it could be the left wheel bearing? I can't hear the noise when the car is at 70mph or much under load. I can't believe it would be the rear end but thought I'd see what you guys thought. The tire shop today looked very puzzled when I brought the car back in for them to have a listen. After searching several posts here, I tend to think bearings but wanted some different opinions.

Thanks!
