Default Rhythmic humming that changes with speed ?

It started a couple of months ago on my 2000 GT. Sounds like it's from the front and I can feel it a little through the floor and pedals. The frequency of the hum changes with speed and gets faster as I get faster and slower when I slow down.

I've done the obvious, changed one front wheel bearing, then the other. Made no difference. Now I'm stuck

Any ideas ?

maybe a wheel bearing. jack the front up, grab the tire at the 12 and 6 o clock postion and see if u can push it pull it. if so, bad bearing.

nvm didnt read all the post. hows the tires look?

The fronts are nearly at the wear markers.

check brake pads and rotors. They make constant contact with each other and can cause noise/vibrations with warped rotors or worn pads.
