humming sound at high speeds

Everytime I go around 90MPH I start hearing annoying humming sound coming from what I think is the right front wheel/tire (it starts at 85MPH)
I dont think I have a wheel aligment problem or wheel balancing issue as car doesnt steer to left or right if I let hands off the steering wheel, nor there's any indication of vibration.
Any ideas guys?

Could be your wipers, only other item I have heard on this board causing noise at speed.

Sounds like wheel bearing to me.. If you listen more at slower speeds you still should hear it. Does it get louder/worse around higher speed corners?

Could be this, but should also hear it at somewhat lower speeds, ie 60mph.

cant hear it at all at slower speeds...
didnt try to corner too hard at those speeds, but little cornering has the same sound level
