Whirring sound starting around 30MPH and up

I have a whirring sound that increase with speed starting at around 30MPH. At first I thought (hoped) it was a front wheel bearing so I took them out last weekend and they looked ok, although the grease was dried up. I replaced both of them and replaced all the bushings for the control arms and sway bar while at it. After the job it looked like the whirring sound was greatly reduced. I drive off this morning to work and the whirring sound was back, it is fairly loud. Any ideas? Now I suspect the bearing on the transmission side (Can that be replaced without taking the transmission out? Are there online instructions?), could it also be the axle bearings? The outer CV boot was ripped when I bought the car so I packed it and put a new boot on about a year ago, I suspect that is not the problem. The whirring sound is there also if i put it in neutral while cruising. Any ideas?
It is a 1997 Aero with 166,000miles.
On my previous '94 Aero I got 315,000miles, but never encountered this issue.
Any ideas? I have to fix this...
TIA
