Default humming noise in front end

Hows it going guys. Quick question. I have a kind off a humming noise coming from my front end. I just had my front driverside bearings changed. The bad bearing made my tire wear uneven. Would this sound be because of that. It sounds like a worped tire when I slow down so does the sound when I speed up it does as well. Any ideas on what it is. Had the truck One year bought used with 59,000 km and already did FDS bearing hub, got a leak in my tranfer case what else am I in for.

2006 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab Z71. Brought it in today ask buddy why it's making that noise he said it just tire noise nothing to worry about. But it did not do that when I bought it.

Well if you have some A/T's then they do make some noise but if this all happened after repairs then it has to be something else.

I do have A/T's but I never noticed this noise before. It almost sounds like a whorped tire. I don't know but thanks for your help anyway

Default humming noise

You can try and rotate the tires see if the sound follows. This would eliminate a tire issue. You should have replaced both front wheel bearings, anytime you do maintenance like this it is best to go ahead and do both sides.
