Default Rumbling Noise

I notice a loud Rumble noise at a high speed I notice it at 140 mph
sound seem to be in rear wheel passenger area . Curious to see if anyone knows where could noise be coming from. I had both rear wheel bearings changed out (Timken Bearings ). The noise appeared before I changed out wheel bearings. The noise seem to appear at 140 mph .

I'm assuming you are driving with windows closed. Maybe your passenger window is pulling open and letting air in.

Yes every now and then I will run it that fast at my uncle's property he has a good stretch of concrete road . each time the windows are always up .It just get loud at that speed and I was concerned if it was a rear end problem or axle. Other than that its quiet at lower speeds.
