    starts when accelerating at about 25-30mph and then gets a bit louder as car continues to accelerate. Humming noise continues at same level when decelerating, at least for a while, then decreases when speed gets down to the 30mph (or so) level. No noise when stopped.

    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Most likely a wheel bearing. Does it get louder when you turn left or right?

    Thanks. Already replaced 2 in the last 6 months. This sounded different, but will look into.

    No, the noise stays the same in any turns, left or right.

    Where's the humming seem to be coming from? Does it change with RPM? If you posted a video clip with the noise, we could help better.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Does not change with RPM, changes on car velocity.

    I think the previous posters probably nailed it, a bad wheel bearing. The more I listen to it with the car in operation, the more that makes sense.

    Thank you to for all the help!!!

    btw, is the wheel bearing something I need to get replaced asap or can it wait a week or two?
