Default 2001 camry Road Noise

Just bought this car and didn't notice this noise when I bought.. when im driving it sounds like a low hum only things I can compare it to is the sound of oversize tires or a faint sound of an airplane engine and it gets louder when Im veering to the right on a turn in road don't hear it to much on hard turns.. so don't think its CV its really annoying does anyone have any ideas what this might be??? the Tires are Fairly new any help appreciated..

Hard to diagnose a sound is kinda tough from here but try rotating the tires first and see if the noise changes. Any vibration?

No vibration wife said feels like alignment is off a little just a hum when driving this car only has 100,000 miles ill try to rotate tires my next thought was wheel bearing but these are sealed didnt think would be bad after 100,000 though..

Wheel bearing is possible. You can check for play in the wheels by jacking up a corner and putting your hands at the 6 and 12 o'clock position and try to rock it back it forth. If there is play, then bearing is bad. If the bearing is humming, you should be able to feel it.
Also, if the car needs an alignment it can wear the tires funny which can cause noise but usually not.
