Question is, is it a tune you like or do you need it to hum something else?











Seriously though, try swapping the wheels from the front to the back and see if the noise travels with it. You never know, it may be a better tune at that end?

check your tyres for raised ridges on the tread mate,this can cause a very similar noise as a faulty wheel bearing.hth
