New humming sound

Does anyone know what this is? It's speed dependent and not rpm dependent.

In this video I'm in neutral and you can hear the pitch of the sound go down as I slow down

Seems to be coming from front right. It's best heard around 10 seconds in

Thanks in advancehttps://youtu.be/W30ajvsJWPY

Honestly sounds like your exhaust. But if volume changes with speed, but not pitch, it's usually a wheel bearing.

It's coming from front right

When I lean the car left and right it's louder when I turn left and quieter when I turn right

Oh for sure right front wheel bearing. Classic symptoms. Gets louder when you turn left and load up the right side. Are you running spacers?

No spacers so I'm taking it in for warranty

Glad to be of help! Unfortunately I have experience with them...

Did they give any indication as to why it would have failed already? I know back in my Volvo days they just blamed it on a "run of bad parts / known issue".
