My 03' avalanche was making the same huming sound. After checking everything that could possibly be making this noise from tires to wheel bearings to brake shoes draging and four different pro garages giving me four different answers, I finally checked the rear differntial only to discover fluid slowly seaping out of it. I'm told more than once' that this is an ongoing problem with some rear ends on these model trucks but chevy or GM will not take any responsabilty or acknolage any problems exist. This little non responsible action finally ended up costing me over $2300.00 out of pocket... SO' have the rear axle bearings checked and serviced asap before this happens to you...

Could it be a rear wheel bearing? Also check the condition of the tires, severe cupping can make a heck of a noise.

I have a humming noise in my 2003 ss Chevy Silverado. It's loud in the cab but you can't hear it outside. The hum sounds like underneath somewhere. I heard it might be a belt or the tires. thank...

If it were the belt you would hear it clearly with the hood open! So if you don't it probably isn't the belt - but you should still check the condition of the belt - any cracks?
The tires would be loudest if the windows were down and driving - if that isn't the case - probably not that either.

Humming noise could be many things and you need to localize the problem. If it sounds like an electronic hum you might want to check the fuel pump since you almost sit on the tanks.

Try turning everything off - radio, ac, etc off and see if you can at least localize the sound to a particular area.

They now have a bearing assembly, you replace the unit as one. The humming sounds like a Blazer I did last week. Same noise/humming over 25MPH..? Sounds just like road/tire noise. Hope this helps.

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.

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