High pitched noise at 65mph?

Hi guys

I've noticed a very high pitched noise at 65mph (105kph) in my 7.1 GT3.
The noise occurs no matter if in 5th or 6th gear and also if I put the clutch pedal down.
What could it be? What would a broken diff sound like?

Thanks for your suggestion.

Wheel bearing, that was my first thought too. What else in the drive train could it be?

Wheel bearing is also my guess to check first.

Try to jack up the car, rock the wheels, and feel if there is any freeplay if so.

Or, if your local road allows, find a open & safe twist road that have left-right-left-etc. turns, and see if the pitch of the noise changes between left and right turns.

Godspeed troubleshooting.

Could it be a wind noise?
