Humming Sound
Not sure exactly how to describe a sound I’m hearing from my car but I’ll try. It’s a humming sound I can hear above about 30 mph. The sound is similar to what an off-road tiee sounds like on the highway (tire hum I guess). It’s constant and the pitch increases as the speed increases. It doesn’t matter what the RPM is, so it isn’t transmission related. Also, I put on my winter wheels/tires this past weekend and that didn’t make a difference, so it’s not a tire issue either. I haven’t noticed any degradation in performance or handling. I didn’t see anything visibly when I swapped the wheels. I think it’s coming from the front of the car but am not 100% sure. It really isn’t much louder with the windows rolled down. I’m kinda stumped at this point🤷*♂️
Thanks in advance |

Sounds like it could be wheel bearing , had some bad wheel bearings on my Wrx and it felt like you could hear it inside while moving .

What is the mileage?
Speed related humming can definitely be a wheel bearing. Turning can increase the noise on the corner the bearing is worn. A way to check is to Jack up the car and check the wheel for play. Up and down is often most accurate as left and right play can indicate a worn tie rod. |

It sounds like front wheel bearings. You have to replace the hub as a unit. I am getting ready to replace my 3rd. I have been through 2 right fronts. Now the left is starting to make noise.

bushings make inconsistent clanking/screeching/grinding noises as the metal parts start to rub together. in this case, a speed-dependent humming sound would indicate something to do with the rotating assemblies. wheel bearings are one of the most common, also heard of similar noises with bad CV axles sometimes.
