Whining/Whistling Sound

So when I drive past cars/divider on the road, I can hear a whining sound as an echo. When I stop, nothing is there...I just got my brakes replaced a while back, but this just started to happen. Any suggestions?

Wheel bearing? They normally make a whirring noise on cars if they are going bad.

I thought the wheel bearings were pretty strong on these cars though, I had a V6 Altima that had a wheel bearing go bad twice, nothing so far on my E320, if it were ball joints youd hear a screeching noise when you go over bumps or turn the wheel... But yea sounds like wheel bearing/hub.
