Hard to tell, as not sure what the sound is your hearing, but try the tyres.
My S3 had the same problem an couldn't work it out, drove me crazy, so took it to my friend with an audi specialist garage, turns out not wheel barings etc, it was the tyres.
Even though I had fairly new tyres it seems that they wore funny and created flat spots on themselves, these where F1's.. Apparently this is something that can just happen. Changed tyres and nothing else and sound gone...
