Bad wheel bearings?

[Belalk]

2018 GT started making a very obnoxious drone noise when driving. Tires are brand new and I switched out the wheels and am still getting the noise so I know it’s not that. I believe it’s wheel bearings but just wanted to get a few more opinions. Let me know what y’all think.

Gets louder at higher speeds, I can feel the vibrations from the noise.

Jack the wheels off the ground and give them a wiggle side to side. There should be zero play. Otherwise bearing are shot - I have also seen carrier bearings and u-joints make a similar noise. While you're under there check all rotating items (drive shaft, half shafts)

Yeah that’s what I did, seems like it’s the front driver side bearing. Could also feel the spring vibrating when I spun the wheel, other side didn’t make the same vibration.
Thanks!!

I'm in the same boat. Hums while going straight and in right turns. Becomes silent in left turns. Already swapped out the fronts. I didn't have any play left right up down on any of the wheels. I assume it's gotta be the rear bearings at this point.
