My car has starts to hum at certain speeds. It's an automatic but when it's in
fourth gear it starts to hum.  Do you know what this could be?

What make, model, and year car is it?

Sorry its Mazda 6, sedan 2005. It hums when I'm up to 40 or 4th gear...

Does it change with throttle angle or vehicle speed (remaining in 4th)?
Richard

*******************

Yes, if I go passed 40 it will start to him pretty loudly.

If you swerve gently back and forth does the humming get quieter or stop?

If so, it's a hub bearing..
Richard

You are amazing! I found it was the hub bearing.    I went to a mechanic who tried to take advantage of me and I was able to break down the symptoms and possible issue.   He all the sudden took me seriously.

Thanks again!

That's what I'm here for...
