check your wheel bearings. you can jack up the vehicle and shake the tire up and down for excessive play, or even pull the bearings out and visually inspect them. if they're ok then it's possible that the carrier bearings inside the differential or making the noise.

check to see if your splash guards are all where they need to be and arent contacting the tire at all. also make sure the tire isnt making contact with anything in the wheel wells. if the tires are new, it could be just that. some tires make annoying noises. may or may not be thecase but its possible.

Check the wheel bearings for excessive play and inspect them if needed. If they are good, inspect the differential carrier bearings. Also confirm splash guards and wheel-well components are not contacting the tires.
