I don't know what woom woom is. It sounds like a bad tire and its humming. If thats the case its the tire. If its more like a thwap, then you might want to make sure your lugnuts are torqued to spec.
Oh yeah... most people appreciate the use of punctuation. Makes it easier to read.

If it is a continous wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom sound as you drive it could be the tread of the tire. In time the noise will die down as the tires wear down.

humming = unbalanced tires from the factory. Get new ones or return these. Unsafe to drive on.

humming = caused by the parada tread pattern with negative camber, nothing to do with balance.
