continuous noise. woooooWOOOOOO I have a problem with my '05 Escape 4wd. 110k mileage, the sound started with 4 new tire installation a month ago. I thought it was tire noise since I had bought a different tread design, we replaced the brakes too. The sound is getting louder. Louder with acceleration, when on curve it increases

Could be wheel bearing, c-v joint or differential . You need to get the car to a mechanic.

Like old-timer I was thinking wheel bearings, but it could be the rear diff as he said as well. My bets are that the wheel bearing was weak and the vibration of the impact gun finished it off.
