Default Humming noise

Cant hear it all normal driving. Hear it while taking right turns at a pretty good speed only. Wheel bearing? Ideas?

Possibly driver-side rear wheel bearing. Is it coming from the back?

I agree,wheel bearing. I just got both my rear wheel,bearings replaced. No more loud cabin noise. I can actually hear the other person on my iPhone,while driving Audina!

Could be a wheel bearing. Could be a CV axle. Could be brakes. Could be a number of things. Which side is it coming from? Does it stop if you push the brake pedal? I recently had a noise at the front left wheel. My rotors were original. Weren't warped but they had worn down and rusted to the point that a flake of rust was hitting the pads and causing a noise. The noise would change if I was going straight or turning. Replaced my rotors and the noise is gone. If it is a wheel bearing, the noise will get more frequent and worse with time.
