this might be caused by a bad u-joint on your driveshaft.

SOURCE: makes a humming sound between 30 and 40 mph

I suspect that one of your wheel bearing have worn out. SO to confirm please lift up one by one all the wheel and rotate. listen to any hum which corresponds to your noise. hold the wheel on either sides and check for any shake even a small one. if you detect a hum check the wheel bearings and the HUB, most cars have this assembly making the noise specially when the grease becomes dry or there had been water logging specially salty.If so change the bearings / hubs, when changing look out for any damage to the axle. I hope you get this right. Helpful? Good day.

I have a 2010 RX350 which makes a humming noise between 30-35 mph, both while accelerating and decelerating. It's loud and driving me nuts. What could it be?
It could be bad tires to worn motor mounts.
If the tires are in good shape, rotate them to see if it makes a difference. If not, you could have a bad hub, or motor mount, based on the minimal information. The transmission and drive axle are also possible problems.

2001 chevy suburban. I hear a humming noise from the engine. Engine ticks while idle for after a few minutes. Ticking goes away when I accelerate. There is a strong vibration when I accelerate in drive but...
Ticking sounds like a dry lifter, when was the last time you changed the oil and filter? Humming sounds like you need a tire rotation because of uneven tire wear.

check your engine mount for play as a weak mount causes exhaust to vibrate could also be a heatshield not fitted properly

What's your problem? Just bought a HONDA CRV ELX 4 WD 2009 that has a growing humming noise coming, it looks like, from the tires. It grows with acceleration and ceases with deceleration. The tir
some tires howl. In some cases it is just the way the tread is made on tire....if car is not pulling and steers fine and there is no vibration than dont worry about it....wider and taller tires do it more than most...now that is if it is the tires,,,,may want to have it checked out just to be safe....good luck.......

My front end makes a loud humming noise. At low speeds, I hear a humming noise and at high-speeds I can hear a noise in my tires. Not sure if it is an the wheel bearings, bad tires, or alignement.
Alignment will not create a sound by it's self. The most common cause of humming (especially if you have an agressive tread design)is a wear pattern in the tires...check for that or rotate the tires around & see if the noise changes. If it does then you know it's in the tires. & Not always, but most of the time a bearing noise will increase or decrease in intensity if you load up one side at a time by doing 35-50 mph & turning slightly to each side.

Deceleration whining/humming noise
I would tell the dealer you want your rear differential opened up, checked, and more fluid added. There really is no test they can do other than to pop the cover off the differential.
