Humming Road Noise

[Graphics Guy]

I'm new to Mazda 3. I hear road noise or humming when driving. The dealer has not found anything wrong. Could it be just my tires. I do need sway bar bushings but as far as I know that is just a clunking noise not a constant humming road noise. has anyone else heard of this problem.

Welcome and when do you hear the noise? When you accelerate? braking or when the car is motion?

The 3 always has some road noice and the tires that come stock kind of suck and some people think if you put on new wipers it will cause some noice, I don't mind the noice it's kind of nice to just hear the road rush under you.

could be tire noise or could be wheel bearing noise. both are very common in the 3's. does the noise change depending on road surface? when you turn does the noise shift from side to side?

Tires

Here are some pointers to put you in a clear direction. When was the last time you did a tire rotation? Run your hands across the thread of the tire front to back to check the feeling of the tires if the inner threads feels uneven, also check the rear tires which are known to feather pretty bad if you dont do tire rotations on a regular basis's if your tires feel good and dont have any odd wear you most likely have a a bad hub bearing.

Hope this was helpful
