    I have a 1998 Grand Prix with the 3800 engine. I would like to know if the noise is from the speedometer or what. I havent any idea. I came home from vacation and the noise was present for the 1200 miles I drove. It is a whine that gets louder as I go faster. Thanks

    I think you might need some new tires.

    only other thing that would whine is a belt or a pulley bearing I think.

    ever see what happens to a car when the wheel bearing completely fails? change it now or pull it off the road before you hurt yourself, your car, or someone else.

    wheel bearings last a pretty long time before they actually let go.
