Default Cars loud when at highway speeds.....

I remembering reading somewhere a long time ago that accords like around my age 94 will sometime make a humming noise. Something about the power steering hose or something like that vibrating against something else to make that noise. I know this doest make too much sense but if anyone knows what im talking about that would be great....

Sorry, off topic. Don't have an answer to your question.
How do you like the sound off your Magnaflow cat-back? I'm planning on getting one.

are you talking about that service bullitin that honda had about rattling coming from the exhaust on 94-95's. if i remember right, its caused from back hanger rubbing on the exhaust pipe. the dealer has a fix for it, i believe it was called a "buzz kit" or something like that.

if that is what you were talking about you could always just remove the hanger, as it is just bolted to the body. i had this problem and that fixed it, you really dont need that hanger as i removed it over a year ago with no probs.

Actually the noise is coming from or near the engine bay and makes basically a humming noise at higher speeds. I dont know really how to explain other than the noise it makes....

Bearings perhaps? Is it road noise towards the wheels?
