Picked the car up again and it still makes the same noise - but still only on the right rear wheel/shock. Seems as if it is the damper but Acura dudes say everything is tight and shocks are not leaking. I am going to test a new 09 MDX and compare. No matter what, it is a terrible racket and not something that should be found on a car of this caliber. If this noise continues it is going to drive me nuts. Best of luck to you to solve your issue.

I don't think it is normal. My 09 MDX produces very quiet wind noise. Hope you can find a cure.

Thanks. I take it in next week for an oil change. Will have it checked out for the buzz. I agree that a car of this caliber should not have all the issues I have experienced. Very disappointing. I have had it in the shop about six times for various minor problems.

Update on "sticky shifter"
Took it to Honda because Acura is an hour away, they took the center console apart and found the shifter cable was corroided on both ends, lubed it up and will be ready by the end of the day, no parts just labor, $85.

I recently bought a low-mileage 05 MDX Touring in Toronto. The symptoms are exactly as reported by djrasure and topoff, ie, the whistling sound comes around 50mph - 70 mph. As soon as I take my foot off the accelarator, the sound goes away. When I took a technician on a test drive he told me that the sound is made by the air intake manifold valve (whatever that means) and that it is normal. But there is no sound at lower speeds or at idle. The technician told me to bring it in if the sound increases, but he did acknowledge the sound. Stumped

Thanks - I am going to test drive others at another location - same sound then fine. But I don't want to hear 'they all do that' and they don't.

I am having the same problem with my 2007 MDX nose mask. Did you order a new one?. Did it help?

I've never used the mask - look under one (even on one near new 2008+) and see the paint damage. All that dirt and water does add up after a while.
