Humming Sound - Honda Prelude Forum

rudeskawn · 03-30-2003, 08:58 PM

Sup guys. When I am cruising about 40mph there is an annoying humming sound coming from the right rear of the car. I have not had time to try to figure it out yet. I was wondering if maybe any of you have had this problem before. A girl is coming to test drive my car later this week and I gotta kill that sound before she comes. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

check your tires, your probably wearing unevenly and that prolly caused some "nubbs" to form on the inner side of the tires, you can see it but look hard enough, thats my guess, happened to me with some michalines

humming or grinding?

Although it could be, it doesn't sound like a humming coming from the tire. It could be a grinding I guess. But I just started hearing it not too long ago. So I am not sure yet.

if its real faint an it gets slightly louder when u turn there is a good chance its a wheel bearing.
