the Lexus is RWD. Has 160K miles. has been great until last month or so

The noise comes from the back of the car, when I drive. it has gotten louder over the last few weeks. I hear it when I am moving - no real difference between when I am accelerating or not accelerating (that's why I dont think it is exhaust related). sounds like bad tires sort of but tires are newer and balanced. Maybe a bearing? About 1000 miles back put new struts/shocks on the car. the noise changes a bit with speed, but seems to level off at higher speed. Friend was saying that that was the sound he was hearing before his transmission went (yes an Audi - surprise suprise). Any thoughts?

How to diagnose that errant noise | Is something wrong with your car?
EDGEMAN • 06/26/22 07:44 AM ET
Ouch. Good luck. I would advise not buying luxury cars next go-round.
MP4VT2004 • 06/26/22 12:10 AM ET
Agree with this. Kia engine just went out at 9 yrs and 92k miles.
VTreddog • 06/26/22 12:08 PM ET
That is amazing. I had no idea about the added warranty after replacement.**
MP4VT2004 • 06/26/22 12:44 PM ET
ha - I get at least 3 calls a day about my warranty just expiring - maybe
