Why do Toyota hybrids make noise?

Why is my Toyota Highlander making a noise?
I used my wife’s 2006 Toyota Highlander yesterday (I don’t drive it much) and noticed a noise/vibration. The car has 14000 miles on it. Took it to the dealer and a service tech test drove it. He felt it was a wheel bearing because as he pulled the car to the left while driving, the noise stopped.

Why are my Toyota Highlander brakes not working?
Deteriorating Seal in Brake System: There’s a seal between the master cylinder and brake booster that’s prone to early deterioration.

Toyota quickly addressed this issue by having its dealers replace the seal with a newly designed one for free.
