What is making a humming sound when I turn right?

I have a 2013 Chevy Impala that makes a humming sound when I take curves at speeds 40 +. I replaced left wheel bearing thinking it was a bad bearing, but the issue persists.

    Hi so did you leave enough clearance.

    If the LF hub assembly didn't fix it there's agood chance it's the RF outer bearing. Noise travels and at times it's hard even for a mechanc to hear it on the test drive. I usually put the car up on jack stands, put the car in drive with the motor running and crawl under the vehicle to listen to the bearings with a stethoscope to confirm which bearing is bad. many times it's both bearings and you only hear the loudest one first.

    Is it coming from the front or rear, or can you even tell? "Humming' isn't terrible descriptive. Does it get louder with higher speed, or when accelerating, decelerating or braking? ANY clues would be useful. I'm thinking rear axle bearings or CV joint issues.

    Maybe it's the left rear bearing? Jack the car up and rock the wheel with hands at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock to check for excessive play. Spin the wheel and listen too. Any noise is a worn bearing.
