I just had the front wheel bearings replaced but it still sounds like that. The noise seems to be related to the speed of the vehicle, however, not the rpms.......

Bearings are common.
maybe try another shop to check the rear wheel bearings( that is if maybe you cant get who ever you paid the first time to do their job). Also check to see if the tires are chopped. Check by running your hands across the tread forwards and backward. If it seems wavy it may be caused by the rubber not keeping constant caontact with the road, in other words you need shocks or strutts. Now if the tread patern is higher on each spacific little piece of tread(puzzle piece size raized portions of tread, sorry I don't communicate too good.) That prbabaly means you havent rotated the tires enough.
About the only other thing I could think of would be driveline or rear diff related and not likely exspecially because I know your most likely talking about a fron wheel drive car

It might be your tires. Have you tried any other tires on the front or just the tires you have on there now? You could try having the tires rotated. That might solve the issue but it truly could be any number of things. You might also want to check the tires to see if the tread is still okay. Sometimes that will separate and make a humming sound. Hope you get it figured out and it's not a big problem. Good luck to you!

A humming noise the is related to the speed of the vehicle would lead me to believe that you have a broken belt in one of your tires.(or aggressive tred on your tires) Check your tires for a bulge along the tred. It will feel like a abnormal bump on the tire. Also is there vibration when driving? What kind of vehicle? I have also heard of alternator whine coming threw the stereo since it is driven by the serp belt. I would actually have to drive and hear the car to tell, but this might be some help for a place to start.

turn the wheel to the left and the right and see if it goes away, that will tell you if its a wheel bearing or not because as you turn the wheel it loads and unloads the wheel bearing on that side, oh and dont do this gently, do this in a parking lot and turn the wheel hard.....one more thing, dont do this at 50 mph please
