Default 2002 accord front end noise?

Hey I have an 02 ex v6 accord. I have a noise coming from the front end that sounds and feels like a wheel bearing. But I have replaced both front wheel bearings and cv shafts. Any help would be amazing. Also have new tires and have rotated them without change in noise.

Can you describe the sound in more detail? Like do you only hear the sound when accelerating, idling, braking, etc...

The sound is only when rolling. Speeds up when speeding up. Sounds like a airplane, kind of a grinding and buzzing sound. Does not change when cornering. chan

It is difficult to troubleshoot sounds over the web.

The sound you are describing sounds like a wheel bearing to me, but you already changed. Did you have a shop press in the new bearing to the hub?

The 98-02 V6 transmissions had a ton of problems, so the sound could be coming from the transmission?

You may want to put the front of the car on jack stands and turn the front wheels to see if you can hear a noise or feel a vibration? See how much free play exists on the inner and outer CV joint. Were the CV joints rebuilt or did you install new ones?

Did you ever find out what was wrong with your car? The problem you had sounds exactly what I am dealing with now...??

Thanks for your help!
