CVs create noise mostly when the wheel is turned long before making that noise in straightaway travel.

Just as likely is a bad bearing - a problem even created when a mechanic foolishly removes the rotors to turn them down during a brake job. These bearing are more difficult to properly seat. Some mechanics then make the problem worse by performing a wheel alignment to correct a problem created by loose bearings.

Just another 'just as likely' possibility due to insufficient information and a type of failure that many mechanics would not see.
