Forte GT 2020 hamming sound

Does anyone have hamming sound on Forte GT 2020? It starts at 25mph with a very loud sound and gets a bit better after 30mph. From outside can’t figure out which side it’s coming from.

Do you mean a hammering sound? Like a hammer knocking on something? I'm not familiar with a hamming sound.
Humming sound maybe? Wheel bearing? Does it get louder or quieter when you turn left or right? Tires? Brakes?

Typo, yes, humming. For sure from the wheel. Tires and brakes should be fine. I’m pretty sure it’s bearing. Someone had this issue?

Sounds like it may be a bearing; how many miles do you have?

My kia did the same it has tire noise but the humming was a wheel bearing sounded mostly like the left front So I watched a video on how to change it. I noticed when i raised the left front wheel on a jack and wiggled back and forth and up and down by grabbing the outside on the tire there was just a little looseness So I took it apart and found there was not much lube on the bearing and it was bad I had a gear puller to pull the bearing off and put the new bearing on and no more humming noise just tire noise. If you have no mechanical knowledge take it to your local recommended auto repair shop

Mechanic said tires needs to be changed. So most likely tires. Rear inside part is more gone than outside. I did alignment 1,5 years ago.
I’ll change tires and then let’s see
