Default 01 Taurus LX - tire hum

Hey everyone - I'm new here, as I'm seeking some advice or insight into a problem that just started today.

I had a flat tire, so I took it to my usual service shop and had it replaced with a used tire (matching size, etc) and now I have a strange hum coming from that tire, it sounds almost identical to the flat. I also now notice a pulsating/vibrating from the gas pedal that gets faster (as well as the noise) the faster I go.

This worries me, and I have a feeling there is something wrong with this tire... any input would be great. Thank you!

Where was the tire put on the vehicle? Front or Rear? Have you tried moving the tire to a different corner to see if the problem changes?
