got a vibrating nosie coming from what i think is the underside of the car but could it be a wheel bearing? its a its loudest round the 2500/3000 rpm would a wheel baring make that sort of nosie, or could it just be the exhaust as its just had a cat fitted so maybe one of the clamps??? thanks for the help?

Does the noise stay the same when you put your foot on the clutch (i.e. let the engine slow down to idle) while rolling at speed.. If so it is more than likely a wheel bearing.
