The humming noise is dependant on the road surface/ tire tread and tire wear. If the tires are scalloped or feathered they will hum. Vibration may be a problem in your suspension or the balancing of one or more of your tires. You can run your hand over the tread (front to back and back to front) if it is wavy or the tread feels jagged/ sharper in 1 direction, you need suspension work and/or an alignment.

Why does the front end squeak on a 1997 Ford truck?
If the bushings wear enough (usually are 95% of the squeaking problems) the front wheel alignment can change and can wear the tires faster if not make the vehicle pull to one side of or the other. There are rubber bushings on the bolts that attatch to the frame that keeps some of the vibration and noise down. They can dry out or harden and can either fall out or twist enough to wear metal to metal.

Can choppy tires cause humming noise?
Yes choppy tires can cause humming or a noise similar to mud tires... You can check your tire tread depth to see if you have choppy tires just look at the tread like you would look at the horizon. You can also run your hand across the tread and feel the choppiness. Choppiness can be caused by lack of an alignment or in worse cases... bearings, ball joints, shocks, struts, tie rods basically your suspension component's. I suggest to take it to your local auto shop and have them do an inspection on your vehicle its inexpensive and well worth it. Otherwise, its pointless to buy tires because you will be wasting money.

A bad rotor would not necessarily cause a bad vibration as it would most likely create a noise and wear your break pads down unevenly. It could be as simple as an unbalanced tire or a warped rim. Also if your tires are choppy then a vibration can become noticeable. Also a bad bearing or axle could cause vibration (however, it would be noticeable at a lower speed).
