Wheel bearing are sometimes hard to pinpoint. I'd guess you may have replaced the wrong wheel bearing or another one is worn.

I went back this morning to the same shop where I have replaced my wheel bearing and a different technician informed that my transfer case needs to be replaced . He said a humming noise is coming from a bad transfer case . I don't have warrenty and this cost lots of money. I am wondering if the noise I have previously described could be associated with a bad transfer case ? Should I go with a different shop to get second opinion? Please advise.

Hello... most likely it is the transfercase. Same thing happened to me with my 07 CX9. I had to replace the transfer case and the bar that connects to the 4 wheel drive. After that the noise went away. I had the same issue about the noise when speeding up 25mph. Good luck!
