My 2001 Accord v6 coupe is making a loud humming/buzzing sound that seems to be coming from the tires. The noise level is directly related to how fast I'm going (kicks in around 25-30), and sounds a little like a muffler problem. I don't think it is though, as the sound does not decrease at all when I take the car our of gear and coast with the engine idling (60 on the highway). The sound is loudest at about 65 mph. I figured it was old tires so i had new ones put on and vibration is still there. Any ideas??

new tires and you still get HUMMING or VIBRATION?

 

Yup, its a vibration that resonates through the car and causes the humming sound. almost like something is rubbing against the treads

 

same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. loudest between 50 and 60. turns out it was a bent wheel bearing
