Any ideas? Doesn't sound like it's coming from the back more the front, it's had new wheel bearings

And it's only louder and pronounced when cold?

sounds like the vtech kicking in yo.

sounds engine related, doesnt really sounds like bearing etc. could it be exhaust blowing. the manifold can rust creating pin holes that sound a bit weird

Cold diff ? may seem worse due to the weather getting a bit on the cold side.

Sounds like my gearbox and diff when they're cold.
