The easiest thing to do is to rotate the tires. If the hum goes away you fixed it. Once the tires are off you can look at the brakes.

To check this, Jack your car up and raise its front. Then shake the tire up, down, left, right. This might fix the problem, if it doesn't, then there might be something else.

If you are having humming noises coming out of the front end of your car then you will need to take off the front bumper and examine and see what the problem may be. You should be able to fix the problem within hours and be able to put the bumper back on.
