    i own a 07 prius. two days ago i started hearing what could be best described as tread noise. it is now very loud and pitch fluctuates according to speed. it is extremely noisy from drivers side not so much from passengers. some type of bearing?

    Wheel bearing. You need to get it replaced. How many miles do you have?
