Replying to: yeppo (Jan 14, 2006 6:35 am) I hear that too, especially when the rear windows are open some, at that speed, if I close the windows the noise goes away. The Honda service manager said he never heard that one before. I wanted to upgrade my sound system and I was told by Crutchfield that there is a noise canceling system in Odysseys. My theory is that the noise canceling system is causing the irritating sound, kind of like feedback. Karl

Replying to: heuken (Jun 02, 2009 1:59 pm) We love the car. Currently has about 30K miles on it. I heard the same noise, humming/droning at about 15K but could not pinpoint it and my wife kept saying that is the way it sounds. Well over time the humming/droning got louder and I finally took it in. I could also feel vibration in the steering wheel when the noise started. My wife will not take the car in for any maintenance since she does not want to be without her car.  She went out of town so in it went. Well, the verdict was the driver side wheel bearing and the intermediate bearing both were replaced. My wife got back and picked up the car. No complaints from her yet but I have not driven it yet. It felt more like the tranny lugging to me. The best description is that the car does not "glide" when just cruising along but feels like it is being held back. I could make it make the sound consistently at 1300 rpm at 30mph, at 42mph and 60mph all with rpms below 2k. The other bothersome issue is the car is slow to engage from park to rev or drive and vice versa. Once I drive it for the weekend I will post back.

Ody 06 with 55,000 and a new steering pump (so I know it is not that awful noise) But, I have all the symptoms of the hum and drone! I don't know what to have them look for when I go to back to Honda Service. Do I go in and ask them to look at the A-pipe, motor mounts,wheel bearings or transmission (torque converter). I am facing a drive from St. Paul to Portland, Oregon in three weeks and need to know if we can safely make it. Can one drive with bad A-pipe, motor mounts, or wheel bearings? If it is the transmission then that will be a different decision. Any advice is appreciated.

Replying to: mooger1 (Aug 10, 2009 3:53 am) Diagnose wheel bearings per the TSB or by checking for excessive wheel bearing play (trying to rock the front wheels up and down/side to side), while the Ody is on a lift. TSB 06-018 Bearing Noise From the Front Wheels Applies To: 2005 Odyssey – ALL 2006 Odyssey – 5FNRL3...6B000001 thru 5FNRL3...6B012830 2006 Odyssey – 5FNRL3...6B400001 thru 5FNRL3...6B403543 http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/A06-018.PDF |
