ford fiesta finesse - humming/howling sound when driving - kimsabedo

i have a 2002 petrol fiesta. It makes a strange humming / howling sound (like wind through wires) when i drive. It does not make the sound when standing still. I still hear the sound when i drive and dip the clutch and also when i pull out of gear and coast. It seems to be louder when i slow down to stop. The engine ticks over fine - i have had new tyres just over a month ago - the garage seems to think its the tyres - but i dont think so. i am sure the sound was there before but not so loud. It does not seem to matter what speed i go neither nor road surface. any ideas please

My car used to do this, traced to the radio aerial! If sticking up more than 30 degrees it howled!

If its not that I would suspect a wheel bearing.
