I was thinking tire too but would tire noise come and go?
Early results are good, 20 mile round trip with no noise.

Wheel bearings usually make a grinding sound or a whining noise.
What you describe sounds more like a bad belt in your tire.

Does "whup whup whup" in time with the car's speed sound like a wheel
bearing? I thought it might and as my wife and I both pointed to the
right front of the car as the source of the sound I figured I'd give it a
shot. This is on my '78 240D.

merely okay and as they had both MB green grease and some brown (does MB
green grease degrade into brown?) and as I'd already bought the
bearings (Car Quest, $39 for the bearings AND the seal and they had them
in stock last night) I figured I might as well get to it.

I'm getting better at this, the bearing plus an oil change took just on
2 hours. Gotta take the dog for a walk, then I'll be able to see if the
noise is gone, won't know definitively for a day or two though, the
noise would come and go.
