Chances are it's the tires rather than the engine.
Does the hum diminish if you back off the accelerator? If yes, then look at rear axle pinion bearing. If no, then feel across the tires. They should be smooth across. If they're rough, they will make a loud howling noise.

I have a 2010 RX350 which makes a humming noise between 30-35 mph, both while accelerating and decelerating. It's loud and driving me nuts. What could it be?

It could be bad tires to worn motor mounts.
If the tires are in good shape, rotate them to see if it makes a difference. If not, you could have a bad hub, or motor mount, based on the minimal information. The transmission and drive axle are also possible problems.

2004 ford explorer loud hum and vibration at 70 mph

Could be bad unbalanced tires. If the noise changes when you turn/change lanes, then it is likely a wheel bearing.

2001 chevy suburban. I hear a humming noise from the engine. Engine ticks while idle for after a few minutes. Ticking goes away when I accelerate. There is a strong vibration when I accelerate in drive but...

Ticking sounds like a dry lifter, when was the last time you changed the oil and filter? Humming sounds like you need a tire rotation because of uneven tire wear.

Making a loud humming noise accelerating over 30mph. Soon has you reach below 30 mph, the noise stops.... RWD.. Please help!!!! Where do I start??? It sounds like a lawnmower if that helps and I can feel...

It sounds like a bad tire, possibly a broken belt. Check the sidewalls and tread of all the tires for bulges. If good it probably is a bad wheel bearing. Try to isolate from where and what side. If the noise gets louder turning one direction but not the other, then more likely a bearing. If it stays constant both directions but gets louder with speed, then suspect a tire.
