Default dome lights, make sure the switch isn't in the always off position (right next to sunroof)

a bearing would start making noise around 45mph and be really loud at 65-70mph. Lots of posts about those going (including one by me if you want to search by my user id).

Default thanks for the response- checked the switch is in the on position. Im curious about

the wheel bearing though becuase i def hear noise well under 30 mph? maybe its my muffler? but then again i checked the bottom of it for holes and saw nothing....

Humming could be wheel bearings, what condition are the tires in as well?

Default try swerving back and forth when you hear the humming and see if it goes away when turning one way..

over the other.
