I don't think it can be a noisy tire or wheel bearing as this "sound" only started happening after I replaced the shoes.
I didn't have the drums turned but they did have some grooving in them.
Should I just give them a while to break in and hopefully the sound will go away?
Thanks very much for your help and comments!

i used the same shoes and i did not turn my drums. everything worked fine.......when you say you had groves.....do you mean groves from the old rivets?..........did you use brake cleaner on the drums?......did you adjust the brakes so they were to tight on the drum?
