Oscillating humming sound coming from tires
I am hearing a slight humming coming from my wheels, mos likely the front but it is dufficult to determine exaclty which one. It gets a bit louder over 90mph.
This comes after a curb impact that put a small dent on the lip of the drivers side rim.
Got the car inspected and every checked out ok so I had it aligned and the got the tires rotated and balanced.
Could there be something that was overlooked? What else should I look for that may cause this sound? Any suggestions?

run your hands over the tires and if it catches, you have flaring/feathering going on. It will not get any better if that is the problem until you change the tires.
As for the noise after hitting a curb, you have a more serious problem than just flaring.
