Default 40 MPH whining sound

Hey Guys,

I have a 2013 Chevy Camaro and for the past couple of months I've been hearing a whining/faint grinding sound coming from under my car.(possibly coming near the front) It sounds like washers are loose. This only occurs anywhere from 40-48 MPH. Within that speed, it happens when I push on the accelerator and then goes away when I let off it. Its been getting more frequent every other time I drive it and wonder if it could be a few things.

-Fuel Pump
-Differentials
-Wheel Bearings
-Pinion Bearings
-Bubbles in the brake line

Please keep in mind, I'm just generalizing here.
Thanks!

could be simply ujoints. those will commonly make noises at certain speeds when going bad.

Get your wheel bearings checked they could cost from £40 onwards each-side
the noise gets louder the faster you go.

you can rule out bubbles in the brake lines and fuel pump.


the car does not use u-joints in its driveshaft but I have seen one of these driveshafts make clicking noises that increased in frequency with vehicle speed.
