wheel off and have a look at the disk and pads, then lok at the cv and you will be able to tel if its a wheel bearing as the noise will be there all the time.. more than likely you have a slightly flat tyre.. check the tyre pressures.. hope that helps

disc and pads are new well about 3 months old, and there would be no way i would have killed a set of pads in 3 months, tryes are about a month old on the front so really, they should be at the correct pressure, i will just double check all the time, there is a lot of noise at times but thats just mainly down to the cheap tyres that are on the back. thanks

Brakes might be new 3 months ago mate but did you bed them in first?? Sounds to me like youve glazed the pads so when braking the pads and discs are overheating and causing the wom wom sound.
