2006, V6 4x4
Just picked it up and noticed a humming that seems to start at around 45 mph. Seems to be louder at higher speeds, like 55. Not loud, but definitely noticeable. Doesn't seem like a wheel bearing, and it's constant with speed, not RPM's. I shifted down to 3rd while doing around 45 and while the RPMs increased, the noise did not.
Is this just "normal" 4x4 noises? It's been quite a few years since I've driven a 4x4 vehicle.
Everything functions as normal, nothing odd happening while driving other than the noise. Just doesn't seem normal to me.
*Edit - just remembered, I do feel it in the steering wheel while driving. Not vibrating or shaking though, I can just feel it if that makes sense. Almost as if driving on a tougher surfaced road.
