I have a 2011 accord exl 4cyl with auto trans and 78k miles. I am and have always been the only driver. The car was absolutely fine until I towed it 4500 miles. It was straped to a U-Haul auto transport in park with the parking set and extra ratchet straps holding the front down. Now it makes a wirling propeller noise. The noise changes sound level and frequency with increased speed. It does not change when cornering, gear change, under a load, coasting in neutral with or without the engine running. I thought the strap pressure on the tires could have misshapen them like when you get a flat spot after leaving it parked too long. I drove it a few miles and then switched the winter tires and steel rims for the Honda factory rims and all season tires. The noise is still the same. There are no leaks and all fluid levels are normal. There does not seem to be any debris cought under the car or loose splash guards. There is still a lot of gravel, sand and dust on and in the car. But the engine compartment and outside was power washed.
