Does it change when you corner? It may be a wheel bearing

If it isn't the tire and it changes when you turn, I would suspect the wheel bearings.

We experience a lot of road noise in our 2007 RX 350. Very loud, rear passengers complain particularly. We put on new top of the line Toyota tires 235/55R 18's. Still emits a high pitched roaring from...

I had the same problem with my 2007 RX350. Had the tires replaced under warranty because of this roaring noise and still had the same problem. Replaced the original equipment brand tires with a set of new michelins and the noise went away. This was 10,000 miles ago.

What would cause a loud roaring in the back seat of my 2001 Monte Carlo as I am driving?

That roaring noise should be a wheel bearing. Jack up the rear wheels and spin the tires by hand. You can hear a grinding noise if the noise inside the car is as load as you state.. The only other noise that will be like that is the differental gears inside the drive axle

Roaring noise in tires i have bought new tires and had a alignment

Either the alignment was not done correctly or the tread pattern on your new tires are causing the roaring sound. Take the car back to the service center that performed the alignment and ask them about the noise.
I suspect the tire pattern to be the culprit. Maybe you can take the tires back and choose a quieter tire pattern.

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.

AC/Heat Fan runs continuously and Rear end roaring noise

Sounds like the wheel bearing on the right rear hub may be defective, that would cause the noise if the tires are ok. As far as the fan goes not sure this isn't working as designed.

Makes a low roaring noise when you are at crusing speed.

One of the front wheel bearings are bad. Jack it up and see if one is loose, the noise will usually change if you swerve back and forth while driving. Could also be a rear pinion bearing in the rear axle.

Loud roar or vibration

Start by inspecting your tires. Look for uneven tread ware, tire separation (a bubble) on the inside or outside. Then change the fluid in your front and rear differential. This will tell you if you have a gear problem. Change the fluid in your transfer case also for indication of a gear problem.
