Question:
I just bought this car a few days ago. I am now hearing this humming/whirring noise. You can't really hear anything till you get over 40 mph. It seems to be louder in the rear of the car. The sound reminds me of when I rode in a pick-up truck that had those huge mud tires. The tires are brand new, but an unknown brand. Could it just be these cheap tires, or maybe the bearings? Someone told me it might be something wrong with the suspension or the struts. (It is Honda Certified, plus I bought a 1 year warranty)
Answers:
ask where can i find colored jeeps tops or what is a web site thats has them?
here's some helpful hints...first identify the problems noise, identify it's exact location.
Then, if it makes the noise when you hit a bump, check struts, Shocks.
However, if it makes the noise while you're driving all the time, and when you go above 80 you hear rattling... chances are high that it is your bearings. Here's how to check, lift the car off the ground at the point where you hear the noise. Grab ahold the tire at 9-3 o'clock hold, and try to wiggle it. (No need to take the tire off). Or if you feel better, kick the crap out of the TIRE, several times and if you hear the clink, clunk, or whatever, it is BAD bearings! The wheel should NOT have ANY play in it WHATSOEVER!
Hope that helps!
If you hear the noise with every imperfection in the road, and with every bump, it may be your shocks/struts.
What was the first year for the Transam?
why dont you just ask the people who sold it to you or just take it to a car repair shop and ask what is the problem with my car....I just purchased a Dodge Ram 1500, did I make a good choice?
It could be the tires, it could be bearings. I would take it back where I purchased it and take them for a ride and point out the noise.1998 pontiac bonevile runs rough always, but after engine warms up it stalls, and or shuts down?
check your wheel bearings. If you suspect one of the rears, maybe have 2 of your buddies sit in the back seat on each side to determine which one.Need a website for custom fit flame seat covers for a dodge dart, 1965.?
I think it's the tires. Drop the tires pressure, not too low, to about 26 psi and drive it and note the noise. Increase the tires to about 34 psi and note the noise. If the noise change significantly between these two then it's the tire.It's not the suspension or struts.

It could be the bearing but unlikely. The bearing is more noticable when you go over bumps.

I cannot believe how much i hear this in CarQnA.com. If he wanted to take it to a F#$*#% mechanic, he would not be asking a question here. He can take it to a mechanic, they charge him $200 to look at it, and he finds out its something he could have replaced on his own for $9. If you have no advice other then 'take it to a mechanic', dont answer the question!

Now, onto the answer.
This may be a wild shot, but 2002 was the first year honda added automatic sound control to their stereos. Now of course i havent heard the hum, so i cant say for sure, but it could be rear speaker interference from the fuel pump. Under 40mph, the volume would be low, the fuel pump wouldnt be needing as much power. An easy way to see if this could be the problem, is to just unhook the wiring harness from the back of the radio... if you no longer hear a hum, that tells you that you need to go to radio shack and buy a ground loop isolator.
You still here the hum, then thats not your problem.
