Help please, drivetrain noise
My car makes a noise, only audible over abround 60 MPH. The noise is similar to the noise a bad tire might make. It is a repeating noise that occurs a bit quicker than once per second. It is not tires wheels, or brakes as I have replaced all of them and it did not go away. It sounds a bit like the noise rumble strips on the road make. It makes this noise regardless of gear (including neutral) or whether the clutch is in or out. If anyone could help lead me in the right direction I would greatly appretiate it.
P.S. I can't really tell for sure if its coming from the front or rear as it's a fairly low frequency but I am leaning towards the rear.

Try making some long arcing turns to the left or right to see if it goes away.If the noise goes away when turning,you have a faulty wheel bearing hub assembly.
