Whining noise in car, gets louder as you go faster?

thanks, does that mean that the suspension sends the bodywork to the outside in a corner, so more weight is on the outside wheelbearings then?

The outside bearing does get more load in the corner. The car leans to the outside because the increased load is compressing the suspension. The physics of it is that tyres are pushing the car sideways - they push at road level, but the centre of mass of the car is higher, so there's a rotation force. On a bike you counter it by leaning the bike.

Classic wheel bearing fault.
