    Odds on to be a wheel bearing, and I personally wouldn't wait 5 months to put it right (they make an impressive mess when they fail).
    Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.

    Just put the radio up louder until you can't hear it anymore :)

    Seriously, sounds like a wheel bearing. Had this happen on our old ford focus a few years back. Get it checked ASAP, as if it fails suddenly your wheel could fall off (worst case scenario).

    OP, check your tyres. My mate had this problem the other week. We couldn't see where the noise was coming from. He took it to a dealer and the tyre tread was seperating from the carcass!!!
