Test it like this.
First of all, it's usually the rears that fail. Get on a nice curvy road and drive in the 35-45 range. Take the turns nice and briskly. When the weight shifts to one side of the car, if that side has a bad bearing, it will make a "whirring" or "humming" noise. You can pinpoint the bad bearing that way.

Not to jack your thread, ^^but i am having the monotone wurring noise...
at 40 to 45 then 58 to 62... I thought that it could be my rear wheel bearings, but you say that i should hear it anytime that i move? Is that correct?

yeah, a wheel bearing noise should change with speed, not come and go. Could be tire noise
what kind of tires are you using? I've experienced tire noise when Kumhos get old. Cheaper tires tend to do that.
