2015 FFH SE, a strong humming sound is coming when I go above 40 km/hr speed

Alright, so it a hybrid 2015 model with 390k kms, a month back I replaced the back brake pads and rotors and changes tires from winter to all season (used 7mm even tread depth, hankook 2022 model tires). I am not sure before repalcing brakes and tires or just after, I noticed this humming sound started coming above 40km/hr speed even when car is running on hybrid battery (so it must not be enginer related, also before 3 months when engine was starting kind of slight loud noise was coming then usual, so get it checked the mechanic told me the muffler gasket is damaged so he replaced the muffler gasket for $50 bucks as he knows me and engine sound coming at idle car has gone).

Ran car for a month and drive a lot, so drived around 5-7k kms during last month. I checked online, and google said, it maybe bad wheel bearing or transmission issue.

For wheel bearing DIY checking, when I take right or left turn at high speed sound slightly get lower but is not going off completely. Get it checked with my garage guy, he said he test drove it and put the car on hoist and checked for sound under car with stethoscope kind of item that he has. He told sound is coming from 2 places, front left side axel and middle of transmission. Any idea guys what it can be? I still have doubt on wheel bearing or tires. But the mechanic told me about front left side axel noise and transmission noise.
