At freeway speeds(50-75mph) I have a noise in the cab of my 95 disco that sounds like bad aerodynamics but in the back of my head I think it could be maybe a wheel bearing or somthing of that sort. So I guess my Q. is this common or is ther somthing shot in the front end. give me what you got, thanks

We need some info: Miles, mods, do you wheel it?

I know one problem can definitely be wheel bearings. Is this a new onset sound? They do always make noises from the t-case due to the straight cut gears.

Also, sometimes the t-case gets noisier when the rear driveline angles are too great for the u-joint on lifted rigs. Or.. the driveline u-joints could be going bad, causing resonance in the t-case. I'm not sure if you have a rotoflex (the rubber donut u-joint replacement at the back of the rear axle), but if that's going bad, it could cause harmonics too.

Wheel bearings are timken 37

But I am with John and saying it is the T-case whine.

Oldscout has some oil that helped him maybe he will chime in.
