sounds like a wheel bearing go to where you think the noise is and shake the wheel back and forth shoud be no play back and fourth motion if so replace assy expensive
You have a defective wheel bearing most likely, the noise sounds correct for that problem. have a shop drive it before you replace anything to confirm my guess.
I believe the bearings in the front wheel are about to come to the end. Have it checked in a garage.... NOW! otherwise you will be driving on 3 wheels... sooon. Iceman.
MOST of the hums after a while come from the diff as the back axle does the driving and almost all its life runs the same way except when going in reverse ,is the rear diff meshing and worn on both the crownwheel and the pinion and the humming gets slightly louder the faster you go and almost goes when almost stopped and this can also be the slight vibration you get so get the diff oil drained and refilled and check if there is any metal in the oil when drained if so thats your problem But it will last for years like that..Let me know how you get on RON
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
