What you describe is a tyre problem, probably as you say belt separation
I would stay away from rotors at this point as they really will not give what you describe
you can try doing a tyre rotation and see if the problem goes from front to back
If it does then you will know that you need 2 new tyres
You can go to a tyre shop and have each wheel checked for a problem tyre on the balancer unit
if there is a case problem , it will not be able to be balanced easily
It is poor practice to run different brands of tyres as each tyre has its own handling characteristics and that will give you noise and control problems
SOURCE: squeak sound in the front right tire & a thump noise in the rear.
It sounds like you have a bad strut, have the strut replaced, if it does not fix the problem seek help from a suspention shop.
SOURCE: Grumbling Noise
yes it could cause the noise also having 80% tread is not good on the transfer case as it will constantly be putting stress on it. replace your fronts with matching tires and the noise should go away
SOURCE: Loud "tire or wheel" roar on the highway
I certainly would take it back to the shop that performed the brake job and have them investigate. If it was not making the noise prior to the repair there is a good chance the noise is involved with the brakes. A possible loose brake pad, a sticking caliper(caliper pins may need to be lubed) or any number of things could be wrong.
SOURCE: My front end makes a loud humming noise.
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.
SOURCE: front end noise sounds like a flat spot on tire
Sometimes the rotors rust just where the brake pads set. It happens a little more when the Caliper pins start hanging up. The pads do not get an air gap clearance when the Caliper pins stick and the pads rust to the rotor. The noise will go away as the brakes are used and the rust wears off. It will happen again when the conditions are right. You should see like a blotch of rust on the rotor depending on how your rims are made.
Another possibility can be a Constant Velocity shaft boot/shaft making noise. This would best be checked on a hoist. It may take spinning the shafts while the car is in gear on the hoist.
The last choice would be a scuff sound caused by a bad hub bearing.
