Default Whirring noise MY00 - not wheel bearing!

I have a slight whirring noise, front passenger side, only occurs between 55mph to 70mph, does'nt do it at any other speed. Took it to a specialist who changed the wheel bearing. But noise still there.......any ideas?

Always difficult to answer questions regarding noises without hearing them ... but here's a few things to think about if its not a bearing;
Tyre road noise (does the noise change with road surface?).
Wind noise.
Diff.
CV joint (although these normally click).
Tyre rubbing somewhere when slightly distorted at speed (are they the correct size tyres?).

Have they changed the bearing?? or indeed fitted it correctly?? a wheel bearing is not the easy'st job to do. i fit bearings day in day out, and still **** up the odd one.!! just summat to think about!!

Its just a normal whirring noise, does it on all surfaces, deffo not tyres rubbing. Seems to have coincided with the fitting of a Anti Lift kit. Odd that it does it only between 55-70mph

Air movement can cause some weird noises ... this could explain the speed range it happens at.

Noise can be very deseptive! Could it in fact be drivers bearing?
