#49 of 86 radio noise by caugn Sep 07, 2008 (8:07 am)
I have an '03 pilot with 108,000 miles. In the past year I've been experiencing a whine coming from it seems the subwoofer. This noise is most obvious when the radio volume is low. Also, it over rides all sound from either the wireless headphones or headphones plugged directly into the jacks. I thought to disconnect the subwoofer but getting the panel off is more of a chore than it seems it should be. Any thoughts before I spend an entire day taking the interior appart would be appreciated.
#50 of 86 vibration or rubbing? by caugn Sep 07, 2008 (8:10 am)
My 03 pilot with 108,000 miles has recently started making a rubbing or vibrating noise while driving. It sounds like it's coming from the rear end and maybe from the rear right wheel. It happens when I'm driving anywhere between 30-60 mph and comes and goes. Also, when I accelorate or decelorate while the sound is present it goes away but if I maintain speed it lasts for quite a while. I've seen other posts mentioning a sound that is related to the drive shaft bearing. Would this be consistent with that or might this be something different? I'm just not sure.
#52 of 86 Honda Pilot 05 Air Conditioner Noise by doglady28 Sep 08, 2008 (2:14 am)
My 05 Pilot (53K miles) has an abnormally lound air conditioning fan. Once I get past the 3rd power setting on the air conditioning it sounds like a prop plane engine. Anyone know what this might be and the approx. cost to fix it? Thank you. Replies to this message: ohkabaka (Sep 08, 2008 9:51 am)

Replying to: doglady28 (Sep 08, 2008 2:14 am) That is probably the "Leaf in the Blower" problem.   Costs about $50 to get the leaf removed.

Replying to: pablo9 (Sep 03, 2008 12:10 pm) That rattle could be a loose Sub or even a blown one. Check, because it should be covered under warrenty.   Odie Odie's Carspace

Replying to: pablo9 (May 29, 2008 7:09 am) we just purchased an 05 pilot. we get the same booming sound when the kids have the 2nd row windows down. almost sounds like air flow around the vehicle gets trapped and cant get in or out causing a resonating in the cab. very annoying, almost makes your ears pop. any solution to the problem would be great.

Replying to: phx1138 (Jul 29, 2008 3:54 pm) my 2005 only 'booms' when the second row windows are down at speeds over 40mph. haven 't seen any threads with the same complaint, but i'm going to check the anc unit anyways.

Replying to: stavro67 (Oct 04, 2008 2:04 pm) stavro67,   The booming you describe with windows down doesn't have anything to do with the ANC and isn't an electronically manufactured sound. It's the aerodynamics playing with the air pressure of the cabin. I have been in numerous vehicles that do this with different combinations of windows down...especially the rear windows only scenario. In fact, I once used a 4 door Ford Pickup that made people almost pass out from the pressure "booms" with the same scenario...weird stuff.   The ANC problem described in the bulletin and by several in the posts is an improperly working ANC system. It is fixed by replacing the portion of the unit located behind the radio head unit. It was confirmed by a couple of Honda techs I have spoken with and indeed, I can control it by disabling the system as described in the bulletin.   So...don't roll down just the rear windows!

Replying to: pablo9 (Oct 05, 2008 8:34 pm) Stavro - I have the same thing happen when my dog wants to hang his head out the window. Its a function of the internal volume of the car, the size of the opening, and the speed. Just crack your front window a couple inches and it goes away.   Pablo - I have the low frequency resonance also. Thanks for the post and tracking down the TSB, I'll print that out when I bring it to the dealer. Replies to this message: pablo9 (Nov 10, 2008 10:44 am)
