Default Mr

Hello there,
I have a honda accord 2007 model (vti-e). I noticed this humming sound when in motion. I complained to my car technician. He said it is a front wheel bearing issue. He changed it only for the sound to still be there. He has replaced the original bearing that came with the car. He now says that it could be from the gear. Please help because the guy sounds like he is fishing in the dark. i dont want my automobile to be wrecked.

thanks

Noises/sounds over the internet are hard to figure out.

One thing you can try is to rotate the tires and see if the noise "moves".

Did your mechanic try checking the "other wheel bearing"? Sometimes trying to figure out which side it is can be difficult.

transmission noises are commonly misdiagnosed as wheel bearing issues and visa versa.
