There could be a few things that can cause this humming sound. It could be the wheel bearings rubbing, it could be the gears rubbing, it could even be coming from the engine pistons.?æ
Check transmission fluid and power steering fluid.
Tinnitus is the cause of a humming sound in the ear. There are several things that can cause tinnitus; ear infections, wax in the ear, hearing loss from loud noises, and Meniere's disease.
The eardrum (tympanic membrane) moves backward and forward in response to sound waves, which then causes the tiny bones in the middle ear to vibrate and transmit the sound to the inner ear.
The word is droning. It means to make a continuous low humming sound.
When you cover your ears and hum, the sound waves travel through the bones of your skull and into the cochlea of your inner ear. From there, the sound signals are transmitted to your brain through the auditory nerve, where they are processed as the humming sound you hear.
Sounds like a wheel bearing.
The difference in hearing the sound with your right ear before your left ear is due to the time it takes for the sound waves to travel from the source to each ear. Sound waves travel faster through air than through the bones in your skull, which causes a slight delay in hearing the sound with the ear furthest from the source.

Sound enters the outer ear and travels down the ear canal, where it causes the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The shape of the ear and the presence of hair and earwax help to prevent sound from bouncing away.
