I have this humming sound that seems to be in the rear as I'm driving. The faster I go the louder it gets. It sounds like a hum not like a up and down humming . It's a steady humming . Tires are good and nothing out of the ordinary obstructing the rear.
Any possible ideas on this?

Hello,

Sounds like maybe a rear wheel bearing or something related.i would start by jacking up each rear wheel and checking for excess play or noise when you spin it.
I hope this is helpful please let me know what you find and i can assist you further.
