Loud cabin?

2007 335i Coupe. Running Toyo Proxes 4 Plus A/S's (brand new). Was running Bridgestone RE-11's. Same issue with either set of tires: the car is loud-ish from the inside. I hear what sounds like a faint "whum-whum-whum" that speeds up/slows down with the speed. It sounded to me like an alignment issue or balance issue with the tires...so I got those things done (F&R alignment + bal) and it hasn't helped. What gives?

Cant be Ball Bearing since noise goes louder at higher speeds, either bad tire or some other part in the suspension, like tie rod, bushings etc...

Sounds like something in your suspension/steering is worn out.

How many miles?

Also does it change with what gear your in, or only speed?

36k. increases/decreases only with speed.
