Mine makes that humming sound as well. It's usually during highway speeds. It would kind of appear randomly for me though. I used to be able to hear it during city driving but I haven't heard it in a while. It does get a bit annoying though and makes me feel like my car is a clunker lol.

Definatly sounds like a wheel bearing.

I just replaced mine. It made a humming sound all the time when i drove, except when I turned left, then the noise would go away.

Super quiet ride now :D

Checked the lugs, they were tight. Only thing left now is to jack it up and start moving it around when I get some free time. I'll update you guys when I do this.

Are there different kinds of bearings? What kind do our cars use?

^pretty much just front and rear.
I don't know too much about them, but I did have to get my rear drivers bearing replaced.
I bought the whole bearing/hub assembly for about $60 shipped and unfortunately had to pay about $100 for labor because I wasn't able to get the brake rotor off. :(
