Thanks Brian R., i read the post in the FAQ thread below and the rattle is exactly as described in the post. I will be sure to look into changing it.
I am a bit confuzed at the bottom of the post under "Hints for the Wise" the poster talks about how the problem is most likely the strut mount and not the bearing. Now looking at the suspension diagram at the top, i don't see "strut mount" ... which part is he referring to? Does he mean suspension support?
Well, i looked the part "strut mount" on autopartswarehouse.com and it costs about $75.00 for both the strut mount and bearing (comes packaged together). The only problem is that the parts are sold by "their location on the car", front left or front right. i don't know which side the passengers side is. Is the passengers side a front right, or front left?

One problem solved, now the humming is still left to fix.
Any ideas? I searched up "front end noise hum" and read a similar thread on a Chevy Blazer, and it was diagnosed with a bad right lower ball joint, idler arm, and wheel bearing assembly. . I already had the bearing changed, however would you suggest replacing the ball joint and idler arm? I thought you could only tell if the ball joint was bent. How can you tell if a ball joint is bad?
