Default Humming noise from tires when on the freeway

I just got my tires rotated the other day, and ever since then, I hear a humming noise coming from my tires. Is this because my tires are unevenly treaded from waiting too long to rotate them? Or is it something else?

Also, Will this noise go away as time passes and I drive it off? Or will it always be like that until I replace my tires? It gets very annoying and I turn my music waaay up so I don't hear it especially when I'm on the freeway.

Thanks in advance yall

Yes and yes it will goaway eventually. Your tire are probably cupped caused byyour alignment being off a bit. Check your pressure and put it on the high side, maybe 40 psi to see if it helps.
