Strange noise...anyone else?

[Streetfighter]

04 v8 sportedition

while driving from dead stop to 25 mph, there is a noise

on off humming noise that can be felt at the feet...

the on and off pulse of the sound is too slow to be with the tires.

same pulse as the revolution of a driveshaft,

but the weird thing is, its strong on driver side, when slightly turning right, the noise stops. when turning left, its slightly louder.

tried looking for play or any leakage, couldn't find anything.

anyone know what this can be? the on off humming noise is definitely not tire related,

Does the sound go away if you put your it in neutral and coast?

This usually indicates that the noise is a failed or failing wheel bearing. Probably the front right side one judging by your description.

Wheel bearing? you gotta be kidding me....i just got this thing :/
