Sadly few permanent fixes have been shown to be effective.

LouCyffer:
Couldn't resist.
Try driving down a quiet road, windows down at 30mph & work the steering wheel from side to side (like F1 cars on the warm up lap). A dodgy wheelbearing will usually make a rumbling noise as the car leans toward the affected side, and go quiet(er) as the car leans away.
MPS:
Defo not a rumble. Like a gear / transmission whine, it happens in a straight line as well i've just noticed.1st and 2nd gears?
LouCyffer:
It may happen in all gears but road speed too high to notice perhaps? Does it whine at a standstill? Does it go if you depress the clutch pedal? If so, I'd go for clutch release bearing.
