Ford Fiesta ST - annoying whirring rattle - RedKite12

Annoying whirring rattle from behind glove box area that only happens when the engine is under old and above around 30mph... Any ideas? Was thinking maybe wheel bearings? Or maybe an issue with the front near side brakes? Any help or ideas would be appreciated! The ST has done 52k and has never had any issues before now.

Check wheel bearing/s causes whining noises. Possibly heater motor starting to go faulty, causes knocking noises.
