You probably have a bad tire or wheel bearing. Either the tire is cupped causing humming noise or grease inside sealed wheel bearing is burnt up. I would take front tire and move to the back of the car. Then drive again. If noise stays the same you probably have a bad wheel bearing. If noise moves to the back of the car than you may need to replace the tire. Most likely it is the wheel bearing, I replace them all the time at my shop

If it starts making noise around 40mph than I would bet it is a wheel bearing. There are a couple things you can do to verify this.

When it makes the noise turn the steering wheel to the left and right in a safe place. Does the noise change or even go away? If it does than jack up the front of the car with the rear wheels chalked. With the transmission in nuetral and the engine off rotate each tire with one hand while holding the spring on the strut with the other. Can you feel the noise in the spring. If so whatever side you feel the noise (i know feel the noise seems wrong but you really can feel it when they are bad) is the wheel bearing that is bad.

If none of the above checks out rotate the tires from front to rear. Did the noise move with the tires or go away? If so you have a bad tire. Cupped tires will make a similar noise to a bad wheel bearing.

Loud humming sound coming from a ford five hundred when driving

That could be anything - from tire noise to bearing noise to the passenger in the rear seat! Where does the noise seem to be coming from - front? rear? left? right? engine?

Loud Humming/Wheel Bearings?

When you turn and hear a noise it is usually a CV Joint that is going bad. Humming can be a lot of things. Tires wheel bearings, rear end differential etc.

I would start by checking your wheel bearings. Do this by pushing back and forth on the top of your tire or car near the tire. If the tire wobbles back and forth at all your hub assembly should be replaced. For this problem I would check for this first.

Based on your description: 150K+left rear slowed down much quicker than the right +/ and the humming noise, there is a great possibility that the Wheel Bearings will have to be replaced.

Recently noticed when driving over 40mph, I hear a loud humming like tire tread noise, coming from the front. When I'm turning right it gets worse. Turn left and it virtually vanishes. Is this the...

yes.this means the left wheel bearing is bad, because when you turn right the pressure is pushing down on the left wheel causing noise and when you turn left the pressure then pushes down on the right side removing pressure from the left side causing noise to stop.. this is why when you turn one way or the other the noise stops and starts.

Loud humming noise from drivers side front end changed hub assembly still have noise ????????????????

humming noise usually comes from wheel bearings. did you change that with a new bearing? also choppy or worn tires can cause humming noise that sounds like bad wheel bearings. rotate your tires and see if the noise changes. if so its tires. also even if it sounds like its from the right it could very well be a bad bearing in another location.

Loud humming noise from front end of Durango 4 x 4

You have a hub/wheel bearing going out. You need to jack up the vehicle on each side. Grab the top and bottom of the wheel and try to move it in/out at the top and bottom. If this does not work then roll the wheel as fast as you can and see if you can hear which one it is. Good Luck.

Noisey front end

Change the tire. Your tires might be worping from the inside. I had the same problem. It might need an aligment too.
