Mate at work took me out in his car at lunch to listen to this noise his car has developed.

Basically above 50ish the car is making a vibration/humming sort of loud noise.

It's still present whether it's in gear or not and just free rolling.

Aside from some kind of vibrating heat shield or something like that, what else could it be?

Cheers

Tires might need re-balancing.

From where does the humming come from? Front, middle, rear?

If wheel bearings have been done then check the cv joints,maybe a sticking brake caliper or wheel weight fallen off as mentioned,joints tight?
