Good Afternoon everybody

When I am driving my car, it starts to make a humming noise when i am about 30 MPH, and it gets progressively louder the higher MPH i go. My tachometer is in the low range, yet it sounds like I need to shift in higher gear(that is what the sound is like). It is loud enough that i have to turn my radio louder. Also, it shudders a little bit when i am on the expressway as well. I had the wheel bearings replaced a few months back so i hope that isnt what it is. Thank you in advance to the replies
