Default humming noise passenger front tire

on my 95 accord while driving there is a humming noise coming from the front passenger tire,i just replaced the cv boots inner and outer but noise is still there.only when driving straight the noise is there,but when i make like a left turn it gets quiet,i also checked the wheel bearings and they seem to be alright,ball bearings dont show any chip or shavings.humming noise sound like a 4 wheel drive truck with big threads rolling down the highway...is it my aligment????

More than likely you have a bad bearing. Buy a new one. It's pretty easy to fix. Hope this helps.

have you checked the tires ??

if tires are ok, most likely it could be a bad bearing , have a shop chk it out for you to make sure

Sounds like exposed steel on the steel-belted radial to me. Of course that means the tire is worn beyond safe use & needs to be replaced immediately - it would be nearly useless if there was an emergency brake or manoever. And chances are if one's bad, both fronts are.
