I have a brand new 2017 Touring (500 miles) with the 17" rims. If I'm going at a reasonable speed (25-50) and lightly step on my brakes I hear a humming sound coming from the front right wheel/tire. The sound is VERY hard to explain and I'm afraid the dealer will not find the issue. It also sounds like:
-When you are cruising on the highway with offroad tires
-Rotors are warped
-Tire that's not balanced properly
Could it be just the tires themselves are noisy? Is anyone else experiencing this?
 
I’m guessing you did a visual inspection just in case something obvious showed up? It would not be warped rotors. You will feel those when you brake.

Off hand guess, it’s the brake pads being new that are wearing in. Maybe keep a close ear on it and if it gets worse then contact the dealer. It’s covered under warranty.
 
I would inspect tire pressure, tire carcass, verify lug nut torque, and visually inspect rotor and suspension.

or bring to the dealer and let them inspect same.(drinks)
