Humming coming from my 01 Boxster, any suggestions on what to look for

willw and BYprovider gave excellent tips. Is there a highway you can drive on that has a concrete barrier? It doesn't have to be a building. A 3 foot tall concrete barrier is plenty tall enough to bounce the sound of a bearing. Keep your windows down.
And check with your local PCA for an indy near you.

$1500 to replace a wheel bearing is nuts! The most expensive wheel bearing on Rock Auto is $68. I couldn't find one in our sponsor's site.

Thank you, I’ll try that and see what happens. And yes, $1,500 is crazy. Less the parts, they’re saying almost 8hrs labor to change 2 wheel bearings.
