Default new noise!

The sound is coming from the Passenger side and sounds almost like theres a stick stuck somewhere under my car dragging or maybe sounds kind of like a hole in the top, or a slightly opened window.

to hear it you have to be goin maybe 25mph or higher with no radio
Ill do some more diagnostics while driving tonight


I jacked the car up and looked under it to see if everything was ok and everything looked ok

maybe its because i still have the stock diff fluid
or maybe because my tires are sooo bald

If you are showing cord on your tires then that is probably your answer!

never whats shinzued?


while driving last night i noticed it starts happening after 28-30mph and when you put the window down while driving it is impossible to hear the noise. You can only hear it while the cabin is air tight and it seems like its coming from behind the pass seat. I took my father for a ride to see what he thought it could be and he said it seems more like the brakes, he said it sounds like the brakes arent completely disengaging or maybe that there could be some crap stuck between the caliper and rotor. That reminded me that i did drive this past weekend in some realy crappy weather( tons of little sticks and pine needles) not to mention how wet it was outside.

im so stumped

and i dont want to bring it to honda unless thats my last resort

by the way do you think my warranty is void because of my springs

na - i think they may say something if it's due to suspension

i would try some of this stuff first cause it could just be wind noise

just drive it till it blows up - swap out the springs and bring it back

many many folks have changed springs and never had an issue -
