Default Whirring noise from the rear? C30 d4.

Hello everyone, new here with a problem/question as is usually the case. Veteran forum user tho and fairly good with the spanners.
We picked up a stunning d4 r design in black today, absolutely love it but there's a "but"....
As per title really. I'll do my best at explaining a noise but its tough to diagnose I know. The noise starts around 60 and gets louder with speed... Not related to engine speed. It's not a grinding or high pitched whistle, more of an owl who's had too many e numbers lol... Like blowing across the top of a half full beer bottle 5 times a second. Could this be failing wheel bearing or is it likely a Culprit of the Volvo wind noise I've read about?
Wheel bearings normally grind or drone, I know they can make different noises tho rarely.
Thanks in advance.

I've had a look around this evening and the rear drivers tyre has deformed on the inside edge, grip blocks are out of line and not smooth when you run your hand around em... Why someone would fit a revolo £30 tyre is beyond me...
I'm hoping this is the current issue and a new continental is being fitted tomorrow.

get the wheel inspected for damage and buckling... as the bad tyre damage could be a sign...
