Strange noise

Recently i have noticed that when traveling normally there seems to be a strange whistling/whining noise coming from the somewhere at the front of the car. It is especially noticable when coasting or coming to a stop. Does anyone have any idea what it could be because im getting a bit worried by it.
Cheers
Mike.

Could be several things really,
Does it get worse/better when you apply the brakes?
Does it get worse/better when you press the clutch?
First guesses are a faulty wheel bearing, bad 'box, or bad brakes.
HTH?

sounds like CV joint or gearbox? are you running standard wheels? as bigger wheels put more stress on the suspension parts - if it is this then it means there not far off dead

It appears to get a bit worse when you push in the clutch. I have standard wheels yes. I hope its nothing too serious i have no money.

From that it sounds like the clutch release bearing, not too fatal and they normally whine for years before giving up, changes from a whine to a squeal apparently when theyre about to go.
