Wierd sound when moving

So it's like a grown i can feel it s sounds like a wheel bearing going bad but its only at 30-40 and then it goes away kinda its weird cause when it does it I can like feel like brakes are dragging or wheel bearings anyone been through something or have any input I thought it was like a hurmonic but I really feel something is off

Just tires maybe? I know mine got a fair bit louder once I had some miles on them.

i was having the same problem...it was the bearing for me (had a bad balljoint too). Only did it around a certain speed then seemed alright. I'd jack that thing up asap and check the wheels for play. mine went while driving, noooooot fun.
