2005 accord wheel bearing
ive been having this issue with my 05 accord coupe manual se, it sound like a bad wheel bearing but the sound start after going 20 mph and car gets shakey over 60 mph I lifted the car checked if the wheel freely spin or has play but all tires all seem good, balanced all 4 wheels new tires changed rotors and pads up front rear drums has a lot of life left, I changed the driver bearing and hub because you can feel vibrations on the floor closer to that wheel but Has not changed. It can’t be the transmission or axels becuase not shift boots are broken and the noise continues even after I put it in neutral. The car has 102k. Does need a clutch in the up coming future.

Re: 2005 accord wheel bearing
Could be one of the wheel bearings is just starting to go bad, so the wheels still spin relatively freely and don't have play. Can you put a stethoscope (or screwdriver pressed to your ear) to the strut and listen for grinding when you turn the wheel? The process is described here for a corolla, but I image the same idea:

Also, is the sound louder when you are in a gradual turn? For example, does the noise get louder or start to go away when you turn to the right, or vice versa?

I have switch the wheel bearings on the front and back since the car sat for years before I purchased it, also it was in an accident when it hit a curb head on.

Hmmm. The new bearing you put in might be going bad prematurely. It is possible to over-tighten the axle nut, which can cause premature bearing failures.
