Here's a few things to check:
If you can jack up the right front wheel enough to spin it, you'll be able to tell better and be right there to listen.
Check the brake pads and the rotor. If they are getting worn, and if the rotor's showing signs of wear, they can create noise as well.
Take the wheel off and inspect the brakes and rotor visually.
Hope this helps you isolate and pinpoint the source.

2003 Toyota ECHO still have humming on right front new tire/hub/bearing. (changed bearing 4 times until satisfied of proper installation) Can anyone help?

Does the vehicle have run flat tyres? As these can cause a humming drone noise?

Also, it would be worth having the vehicle “tracked” / full wheel alignment. The person doing this looks at car steering and suspensions every day and will notice if anything is out of line

My Dodge Grand Caravan is making a humming noise as you accelerate, while turning left it stops but gets worse while turning right. I replaced the left front wheel hub and no improvement, I need help

if hub bearing replacement did not fix the noise

when noises are on left and right turns
that has CV joints /drive shafts
would say they are the issue
replace both sides

and replace the left hand hub bearing at the same time

I'm having the same exact problem as cpurdey with my 2004 Mazda MPV. My mechanic is quite certain it is not the wheel bearing or hub but seems to think it's a bearing in the transmission. Is...

If it gets worse as you're turning right, but not left - Most definitely a wheel bearing on the right side. The right turn puts more stress on the right wheel - louder noise - turn left and release the stress - no noise. You can also lift the vehicle up on a jack and listen to the wheel and hear the bearing in the hub making noise.

Why does my car make howling noise that sounds like its coming from either front right or center of the car, it doesnt pull while going straight, the engine is newer with 40,000 miles on it, the wheel...

You probably have a bad hub bearing.If you can change the noise by slightly turning the vehicle one way or the other it is a hub bearing.If you turn left and the noise is still there then it is the right front bearing.If you turn right and the noise is still there it is the left side.If it makes the noise both ways it could be both front hubs.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Removing front hub assembly

I've never heard a hub make a rattle noise. A bad hub bearing will usually make a roaring or whining noise at speed and/or it will have play in it. When is the rattle noise made, over bumps, at a slow speed, at high speeds?

My 2002 trailblazer makes a noise that sounds like a belt shredding that comes from front right wheel mostly in cold weather

Probably a wheel bearing. The cold makes the grease thicker and less lubricant. This particular make may have a hub assembly instead of separate bearings.

"Humming" or "bearing" type noise in left front at highway speeds

That's a hub bearing. Replace the one that's doing it. I'm assuming this 'roar' is coming from the front, NOT the rear.

FRONT END

Drive the car in a parking lot and make left and right hand turns.
If the noise goes away on either turn then the problem is a front hub bearing.
If the noise is still there, it could be possible front differential bearings.
