Default Volvo v50 2.0d vibration knock 60mph

Hi new to the group and after some help.
I have a v50 2.0d 140k miles. car seems to drive well but for a slight vibration at 60mph plus.

I don't think it's a wheel bearing as it only presents itself at speed. It is very similar to a warped disc kind of noise. I also don't think it's related to the tyres as I don't really feel it through the steering.
I can aggravate the noise by swerving. I'm thinking possibly cv joint?
Any help much appreciated

Could be a wheel out of balance, but if the vibration stops if you lift off the throttle then a cv joint is more likely.

Is it a noise or a vibration? warped discs don't make a noise during normal driving but they do cause a shudder during braking.

It's not a brake issue. That's the sound I can most compare it to. Just sounds and feels like something rotating is out of balance. I've had the wheels checked but I'll swap them front to back on Tuesday.

Can was driven last night by a mechanic and is booked back in on Tuesday for a proper investigation. Fingers crossed its a wheel bearing or unfortunately probably diff bearings.
