Default 06 MC needs help...

Hey everyone! I haven't really been driving the MC lately due to some medical issues but a couple of days ago I took it out for a quick errand and around 15-20mph this loud humming/slight vibrating starts. Then it goes away once I hit 55-60. Doesn't get louder with acceleration....can't replicate the sound unless the car is between those speeds. 20-60. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

How many miles on your 06 LT (3.5L) ?

What area is the sound coming from ?
What is vibrating ? Steering wheel, front end ?

Has your Monte been serviced ? Maintained ?

Please provide as much information as you can so that our member's can help...A sound clip would help, or let us know where the humming sounds are coming from...

Look forward to seeing more infor...
Hope you recover from your medical issues..
How's life in the USAF ?

Lifes good. It pays the bills lol. I'm having surgery soon so once thats done, my life will be normal again lol.

I have about 130k on it. And its coming from the front end. I can feel slight vibration on the gas pedal between 20-50 mph and yup, its been maintained.

From what Ive been reading on the forums, I guess it could be a bearing.
