Humming noise coming from wheels/tires that goes away when I steer aggressively to the the right. Even after replacing the wheel bearings
What is your question?
The noise starts at 30 mph and gets increasingly louder. You could make the noise go away, if while driving around 40mph, steering aggressively to the right. It would get worse steering to the left. Replaced both front wheel bearings. Noise is still there.
I had recently had 4 new tires put on my car, but don't recall this noise afterwards. I did notice the noise after running over a semi tire piece with right side tires. But had car inspected and no damage seen on visual. I have even rotated the tires since then. I even swapped the front tires for another set I had and the noise is still there. What else would cause a humming noise coming from the wheels/tires.? It literally sound like I am driving over metal grating or something.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Better when steer to right worse stteer to left (aggressive swerving)

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010.
The only things that can make a noise from the wheels:
Tire wear pattern that makes a harmonic noise...
Wheel bearings / hubs that grind. Your clue about the noise going away when steering right seems to suggest wheel bearings are a possible cause (even though you say they were replaced)...
Axle shafts, axle joints, differential bearing, center support bearing (if equipped)...
Not much else rotational going on here. A good hands on inspection should be able to isolate the noise to its source.
