wierd humming noise after shutting off my car
CRX with gsr block/b16 head swap.
went cruising for a couple hours tonight. got home, shut my car off and i heard a humming noise. like my exhaust was humming. the noise persisted for a few minutes and then slowly faded away about the time i flipped on my electric fan. when i heard the humming noise i disco'd the negative battery cable to see if that changed anything. nope. still humming. like i said... slowly faded away.
SO... 3 options.
im paranoid.
there was an airplane slowly flying away overhead that i could not see.
my car is possessed by demons.
what do you guys think? lol.

i couldnt figure that out! stuck my head in the engine compartment... a little louder in there... almost underneath the car. it was the wierdest thing ever. we walked away from the car. and the noise faded. the closer we got the louder it became.

Re: wierd humming noise after shutting off my car
hey guys. my driveway is gravel and has potholes and puddles. i know its ridiculous for a honda owner, a lowered honda owner at that, to have to drive these conditions daily at 1mph.
heres my thought: drove my car down my driveway through the puddles to work today while the car was cold. when i got to work and turned off my car, no humming noise occurred. drove home the same exact way and drove through the puddles with the motor and exhaust hot. do you think its possible that water gets in the exhaust and with the heat it is evaporating in my exhaust and creating pressure and causing a sound? kind of a wild idea....

Re: wierd humming noise after shutting off my car
You could always try warming your car in your driveway and then shutting it off to see if you hear the sound, then immediately turn it on again, drive it out and then back up your driveway (through the puddles) and then shut it off and see if it makes the noises.
Edit: also, are there any accessories that you use getting home that you don't use going to work (e.g. AC)?

Had the same problem with my s13. No idea what it was and there were too many problems with the car for me to worry about it. then again it couldve been something that was causing all of the problems....anyways i sold that car. good luck

Re: wierd humming noise after shutting off my car
OMG - I am having the EXACT same issue with my Accord. I have noticed this humming noise for several months but though it was coming from outside. Last night, my boyfriend and I decided to find out where it was coming from so we opened the garage and realized immediately it was coming from the car. It was happening about every 2 to 3 minutes so we listened closely to find out where on the car it was coming from and it sounded like it was from underneath the car. Our first thought was to get the car out of the garage and as far away from the house as possible. We are totally paranoid and are scared to even get near it much less drive it.
Have you had any luck finding out what it is????

if there are no puddles and your car is still doing this, then its possessed.

Re: wierd humming noise after shutting off my car
The same thing happened with my Accord a few nights ago. After shutting off the engine, my boyfriend and heard a strange humming which we thought was coming from outside. We then figured out it was coming from the car. The noise lasts for about a minute, stops, then a few minutes later it starts again, getting quieter and shorter each time. The noise comes from the left side, underneath the car. My boyfriend thinks it might be the fuel pump.
Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks Dr.Sleepy. Was hoping that would not be the problem did not want to have to go through the hassle of replacing the darn thing.
I almost wouldn't mind if it was possessed..... lol
