Default Humming noise

Hello everyone, 2019 A6 I’m getting a humming noise while driving sounds like it’s from the front of the car, maybe engine compartment or by one of the front wheels? It’s not super loud and doesn’t sound like grinding. Anyone have any idea or tips for me? Thank you ahead of time.

Could be tyre wear. I have found that the road noise changes as the tyres wear down. May be worth swapping front and rear tyre and seeing of the noise moves or goes away. Also worth checking tyre pressures.

Could be a wheel bearing.
