What is your question?
84000 miles, AWD, sounds like a humming noise in front end. My guess= drive shaft passenger side, out of balance tire(s), wheel bearing? sound is always there, any speed, making a turn has no effect on noise. Tires are brand new 4 weeks ago. dealer installed. Went to car dealer where I purchased vehicle (New Car Dealership) Service department, did test drive and a VISUAL inspection and stated nothing wrong with vehicle. Would AWD vehicles make noise only in one wheel? Tires are Goodyear Eagles A/S, M/S purchased and installed by dealership.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Better only when stopped
How long has your 2008 Mercury Sable had this problem?
since purchase in September 2021

Hello, sounds like the tire tread pattern could be making different noise than you are used to hearing. Or, there could be a wheel bearing issue. Bearings indeed usually change sound when turning left or right. But so would tire tread pattern noise. You could possibly have a differential noise or other rotation bearing noise. Further inspections should be performed if you're remaining concerned. Use this link to find some shops near you that can help with your concern: www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
