2003 Alero noisy when driving

[Ron21]

My 2003 Alero 2.2L 107000 km is now noisey when I am driving 80km/hr. It has slowly been getting louder over the last month. I rotated the tires which are made by Miranda but it didn't change much. How do I tell if the noise is the tires or a wheel bearing. It sounds like it is coming from the front. Over 80km/hr the noise starts to disappear. The noise actually sound like a car with snow tires when there is no snow on the road

Any help would be appreciated

Does it sound more like an airplane? Wheel bearing noise. This is a common problem on Alero/Grand Am on the front end. Does the noise change while the car is moving when the noise is most prevalent and turning the steering left to right, vice versa?

You will most likely need a new hub assembly but it is best to replace them in pairs.

The noise does change a bit when turning left and you can feel it a bit in the steering wheel when turning left
