My little finger's telling me it may be exhaust or bearing.. but alas no mechanic has been able to confirm my suspicion, in spite of them checking at this place or any other place.

will keep you guys updated if I can crack this nutshell.
If it is the bearings (wheel bearings) the sound will get louder . Many moons ago (at 110k+ miles on my now 300k+ miles blue Yaris), I took the old girl in to get her brakes checked. I was told that the brakes were barely worn, but that I needed new front wheel bearings. The shop showed me what they found. I was conditioned to the sound. After the repair.....sooo quiet. The difference was like night and day.
