2024 Subaru WRX — humming rises with road speed, not engine RPM

EVMomCommunity StarterJan 10, 20262024 Subaru WRX PremiumOrlando
There is a low hum that rises with road speed regardless of engine RPM. Turning slightly left or right changes the sound. Is that enough to suspect a wheel bearing, or what else should I rule out? Mostly looking for the right next step. I am trying not to assume the first explanation I see online.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 Subaru WRX owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2024 Subaru WRX in Orlando, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “humming rises with road speed, not engine,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. That's my plan before I call anyone.
