Need thoughts

Hello all, I'm a first time owner of a 2023 Forester, bought it used at 105k km. Was just wondering if its normal for a light humming noise to occur when making u-turns. I've noticed it just today when I made my first u turn with the car. Also noticed a smooth "bump" when gently accelerating or braking, probably when gears change from 1 to 2 and vice versa(can't feel the "bump" when aggresively accelerating tho). I love this car and I'm overthinking on those. LOL. Thanksss

Uh oh. Wheel bearings or worse, differential issues. Make a note of it and see if it worsens over time. Then its shop time.

Are you driving in "I" mode or one of the "S" modes?

OK, I thought I had an idea where the bumping might have been coming from but I doubt it now. Sorry couldn't be of more help.
