Most likely is sometime in the drive shaft parts. A dry u-joint can cause crazy sounds, and so can a center shaft bearing (not sure if your car has this). Easiest way to check this is to remove drive shaft from car. Mark the flange where things hook up so you get it back in the same position. If it has a splined joint at the transmission end you don't need to mark or align this. Move joints through their entire range of motion to see if they are either stiff or loose. Spin center bearing (if any) and listen for noise.Most likely is sometime in the drive shaft parts.

Testimonial: "2007 pontiac g5 , 5 speed. noise not wheel bearing , I know what that sounds like, replaced one last year. Not worn tire noise, rotated tires on the weekend, sound is still there."
if noise is their when starting vehicle not moving check motor area idler pulley,alternator,air pump,pulleys,and water pump if only when driving can be any thing that is mentioned in answerif noise is their when starting vehicle not moving check motor area idler pulley,alternator,air pump,pulleys,and water pump if only when driving can be any thing that is mentioned in answer

assuming that has all been changed properly, there are only a few more things that can cause that,
#1 wheel alignment
#2 tires, rotation over due, worn out, or tread design..
#3 some type of obstruction rubbing on tire, like the plastic inner fender cover.
A hum from one tyre, if the same brand as the others, could be from the wheel bearing. If this is loose or worn, it will produce a low hum. You should be able to assess that by jacking up that wheel and shaking it fore and aft and top to bottom, then, take off the wheel and slowly rotate the hub while feeling for roughness. It should feel slick as glass.
Then, the wheel may be out of round or have something stuck in the tread. To see that, swap LH and RH front tyres for a bit, but don't leave them like that forever.
A humming or howling can be cause by a dry, worn out wheel bearing. Also tires that aren't worn evenly across the contact surface of the tire will cause a wheel bearing like noise.
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 the noise is only when the vehicle is moving it sounds lek you have a bad wheel bearing. You can inspect ford move ment or play shaking the tires up and down and left to right while lifted up on hoist or jack. If there is no movement doesn't necesarily mean the bearings are okay, however if there is movement in bearing replace and drive again. Antoher way to determine Which wheel bearing is bad is to drive and turn to the left, if the noise gets louder than it mens the rightside wheel bearung is bad. If you turn to the right and noise gets louder replace driver side front wheel bearing. Also Rub your hands across your tires, does it feel wavy or uneven, you could have cupped tires, I DON'T KNOW HOW NEW THEY are but cupped tires will also make this noise. One way to see if it is the tires is to do a rotate If noise changes at all then you no its a tire causing noise. Hope this helps.
Possible. If you have changed tires lately, make sure they put the right size tires on. If they went up in size by any measure, it could be rubbing on the tire well and thus making the noise. Check the users manual if you have it and check to make sure the tire sizes are correct. Also check your power steering fluid. That would make a humming or moaning noise but it would be noticeable while turning.
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.
Alignment will not create a sound by it's self. The most common cause of humming (especially if you have an agressive tread design)is a wear pattern in the tires...check for that or rotate the tires around & see if the noise changes. If it does then you know it's in the tires. & Not always, but most of the time a bearing noise will increase or decrease in intensity if you load up one side at a time by doing 35-50 mph & turning slightly to each side.
Try to rotate the tires to rule that out.If not then it sounds like the wheel bearing is going out, on some cars you can replace the bearings on others youi have to replace the hub assembly
