Or get someone else to drive, then lie in the back and listen

Mis read, if its the front wheel bearing then putting it on the ramp and driving it will work using the screw driver if its the rears then you'll need to drive it on the road.

Does it only happen at certain revs? Say around 4000 rpm then fade off again as revs go higher?

[vdubnut]

seems to get louder faster i go ....(its on a smoke burner rather than a gti)

[robz]

sounds like rear wheel bearing!
the way i always test em is get to the loudest speed then almost f1 style swerve from left to right, eg, swerve right, weight is on the left rear, gets louder, thats the one, and vice versa!!

+20, definately bearing.

looks like back right wheel bearing jacked up all 4 and that wheel is not wobbling but does make noise when spinning it.. are they easy to adjust or is it just forked?

It is better to replace it if it is making a noise.
