Default low hum at 40mph

Good day to you all!

As the title of my post states, I have been hearing a low hum when my 2000 Accord reaches 40+ mph. It seems that the noise is coming from the rear end of the car (perhaps the right rear wheel...). A couple things that may be worth noting are that I recently replaced the breaks (rotors and pads) and the sound was not affected, the sound goes away if I curve the car to the right (when going about 40ish mph) and finally, there is no feel-able vibration. It seems to only be audible as the car still drives very smoothly. I'm not sure how long this has been going on because I always listen to music when I drive and can't hear what the car has to say all the time:-)

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Thanks,
Michael

Maybe a rear wheel bearing?

Yeah check the wheel bearing. I just replaced mine. The rear ones are more easier to do than the front ones.
