My 2001 S had the same symptoms and was diagnosed as a faulty rt rear wheel bearing. It was replaced and the noise went away.

Hmmm... coincidence we have the same yr and model and experienced the same problem? Mine had 35K when replaced but I think it had been making the noise since I bought it with 15K (so much for wheels flying off immediately). Anyone else have an 01 S with a bad rt rear wheel bearing?
