Why do Honda Civics sound so bad?
Any high revving, high compression NA 4 cylinder will sound like that. People that slap giant cans on base model Civics are somewhat emulating the sounds of a properly tuned up Civic. The loud, raspy, buzzing sound is simply a byproduct of how the engine works. That’s just design, and you can’t really change that.
Why does my Honda Civic make a humming noise?
I have a 2006 civic which recently is making a loud humming noise when driving at all speeds, but especially at speeds above 50mph. I replaced the tires and it is still there. I read in the forum that this could be caused by wheel bearings, but my wheels are not loose at all. Could my manual transmission cause this noise.
Why does my Honda Civic whine when I press the gas?
If you have a bad throwout bearing, the whining noise should go away when you step on the clutch (when the engine is in neutral or idling). If you have a bad input shaft bearing, the whining noise would likely be heard under heavy load such as upon acceleration (noise may also be heard while cruising). The cost of bearings start at around $50.
What makes a humming noise at certain speeds?
The humming starts off with a lower tone (almost like a small plane flying overhead) and gets louder at certain speeds (35-40mph; 55-65 mph). I have switched to neutral and even turned off the engine momentarily(after ensuring it is safe on a lightly traveled road) to be sure that it is not from the engine.
What kind of Hum does a Honda Civic make?
No shaking, rumbling, or vibrations that I can feel or hear…just an extremely loud, consistent (non-pulsing) hum that’s fairly high pitched but not a ringing noise. For 51k, have you or did you do all the maintenance milestones with this car?

Where does the humming noise come from in a car?
It appears to be coming from the front wheel area driver side. The humming starts off with a lower tone (almost like a small plane flying overhead) and gets louder at certain speeds (35-40mph; 55-65 mph).
