2006 accord lx 4cly 2 door. 46,000 miles on the ticker. It has pretty new mirada gtx tires (off brand) and new front pads and rotors.

Now the problem. When you are driving you can hear a faint hum sounds like road noise but a slightly different pitch. When you turn the car to the right you get a wabble humming noise and the pitch gets louder. If you turn left, no noise.

First I suspect tires. I have tires rotated and balanced noise still there and only when turning right. I decided to take to the dealer and they told me they hear the noise but that it is road noise from the tires and not a bearing. They said they put it on the lift and checked each wheel with a stethiscope. I got the car home and put it on jack stands and checked each wheel for play and everything is tight. Now I am lost on what to do. I have a deep feeling that I have a bad wheel bearing but I can not isloate where it is coming from. The tires all have the same wear pattern on all four tires and everything looks normal. Where do I go from here????

 

bsaas,
Did it make the humming sounds before you changed tires? I have a 1999 Accord w/115k miles and it's humming now. I'm planning on changing out the front wheel bearings soon. At 46k miles it could be a wheel bearing but your dealer said it wasn't. They could have said yes and replaced them (warranty?) but didn't. I bet it's the tires. Turn the radio up and quite worrying so much. RTV55

 

If you the noise changes as you change lanes the noise is from a wheel bearing. If the noise changes when the roads changes such as black top to concrete it is a tire noise.
