Weird Humming noise

Ok, So about a month ago I had noticed a humming noise coming from what I believe to be the wheels. Not sure as too which one. I took the car into the dealership and they said they heard it too and ripped apart my wheel/wheel wells and found nothing. They say it could be the tire tread or a wheel bearing going but he didn't find any signs of the wheel bearing going.

My car is a 2010 MR with 30k on it.

The specifics of the problem is this. While driving no humming can be heard till I get up to about 60kmph and then its ever so slight. Once I get up to 70 kmph it is the most noticeably and the loudest (not very loud tbh just in reference) then it trickles away when i get up to 80kmph.

Curious to get any Insight on my problem. I am hoping it is not a wheel bearing so soon. I daily drive it as well.

Thanks ahead of time,

Going to try switching tires and see if that fixes it but I doubt it.

That's what I was going to recommend. First rotate the wheels, swap the tires, then borrow a set of wheels to determine whether it's the car or the wheels or the tires.

did this start when you changed your tires from winter to summer? I noticed something myself at those speeds but again I keep hearing weird **** every time I switch tires since they do make more noise obviously...

Let me know... I am looking into my own noises as well
