    Hi there, I have a Prius V 2014 w/ 114k miles.
    Tires have about 15k on them.

    Two things:

    1. It makes a low frequency oscillating noise (deep pulsing hum vibrations) that starts around 35 mph and grows until it's loudest around 50 mph, when it starts to either diminish or get cancelled out by other noises.

    2. The sound goes away when curving slightly to the right. The noise grows worse when curving to the left.


    It seems like it's coming from the front right wheel. Tire tread is decent and fairly even looking.

    Seems like it could be multiple issues (bearing and/or alignment- although it drives relatively straight), but I'm curious what thoughts people may have.

    THANK YOU!
