It's Alive!

I asked a tire expert to balance the tires. He told me and showed me the uneven wear caused by bad shocks. 
The leading edge of each of the raised rubber contact points was higher than the trailing edge. 
Changed the shocks and the noise and bad wear went away.

That's a thought. I guess my main issue is how to diagnose something like this. I suppose for the tire i could just rotate them and see if the sound moves to a different location. If it's something else how would you go about figuring it out? I can't exactly look under the car while it's moving.
