Hi I have a 2008 Nissan Frontier. I’ve recently started to hear a noise coming from the right front tire, while driving at 30-40 mph. There is no shaking at all. I only really hear it driving on really smooth roads.  
The noise is a little hard to explain. It’s like there’s something stuck to the tire, and it makes a thump at every rotation of the tire.  
I had that wheel bearing replaced about 2 years ago, and had the shocks and struts replaced about 4 months ago. I only started hearing the noise about a month ago.  
What do you guys think it could be?

Move that tire from the front to the rear, and listen if the noise moves with that tire.
