I have acquired a noise in the front right wheel area. X-Type 2L D 2007

As per title. The noise is connected with rotation only. There are no knocks or clunks (so not CV, by my understanding). It gets faster as I go faster, and so it would seem like bearings, the shafts, or the wheel.

I'm sure it is not connected to the brakes as discs and pads were renewed as needed, but that didn't solve it.

After lifting the corner in the air, no matter what brutality i used, the wheel refused to wobble, so i assume that means the wheel bearings are OK.

Not sure what to think. Are there shaft bearings, and might they need replacing? How can I test? There is a big ring, similar in appearance to an external bearing, but spinning the wheel when stood beneath it does not hint that is problem, and I am loathe to put a brick on the accelerator then climb under.

Any suggestions please?

Hi Kev --You didn't really say if the noise was still there when you spun the wheel of the ground  ???

because I'm thinking it could perhaps be something in the tyre or a bulge in the tread ---????
