S

It's possible that the noise is coming from your wheel bearings. This is a common issue in Vauxhall Astras, especially with high mileage. You should have a mechanic inspect your wheel bearings and replace them if necessary.

D

Another possible cause could be a loose or worn serpentine belt. Check under the hood and see if the belt is tight and in good condition. If not, it may need to be replaced.

E

Have you recently changed your tires? If so, it's possible that they weren't balanced properly. This can cause a humming noise while driving. Take your car to a tire shop and have them check the balance of your tires.

B

It's also important to check your power steering fluid level. If it's low, it can cause a humming noise while driving. Simply top off the fluid if needed.
