tire or suspension noise problem?

I did the bounce test on all 4 corners. here's video of the front. i see no bounce at all except the first bounce but i think that was me pushing it.

Check for camber and toe while you're at it. "Womp, womp, womp" doesn't really say much. Does it sound like you're driving over cracks on the pavement while you're driving?

look at the rear tire on that side if its not chopped up your looking at a rear wheel bearing .. does it sounds like a helicopter chasing you ? if so its gonna be one of the 2 .. my g35 i had to replace both rears at 60k and i didnt do track days with that car so it sounds about right ..

thats a good description "helicopter chasing you". the shop replaced both rear wheel bearings and did the alignment but i obviously needed to replace the scuffed, cupped, or what ever you wanna call it tires since the damage was already done. hopefully that fixes the problem and the tires don't start to wear like that again.
