buzzing sound when slowing down

**E_Honda** · 27-11-2008 05:09 PM

I've started noticing this buzzing sound when slowing down, it has to be silent in the car or with my window down. As i change gears to slow down i can notice it but it comes and goes. Its almost like its coming from my front right wheel but i cant be sure.

As i push in the clutch and change gears i cant hear it, but when i release the clutch and revs adjust i usually hear it. So it might be something to do with the wheel rotation.

Its a long shot but if anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated.

Nothing to do with the wheel because it goes away when you press the clutch in while your car is moving.

sounds more like worn brakes and that's the metallic warning noise. but need to be more specific.

what aarrong said makes sense, so it cant be the wheel.

The brake pads were replaced a few months ago so can't be them. Although the front disc is wearing cause i can see around the circumference towards the centre is a darker colour, could that be causing that sound? I was driving it again about 1hr ago and you can only really notice it around 40km/h, i accelerate a bit then release the accelerator and the noise comes and goes and repeat and hear it again. It definitely sounds like its coming from the wheel region/discs/brakes.

turns out the noise was something to do with either the front rotors or pads, I just put new DBA rotors and bendix pads in the front and the noise is gone.

i got a buzzing sound at around 2000rpm

anyonek now what that is ?

i noticed it when i chanegd the intake to a cai and then with and exhaust its getting even louder.

is it just resonance in the pipes ?

what intake is it?

with throttle or no throttle and revs drop?

I would check and make sure there is no air leaks in the exhaust, my old integra did the same and it was faulty gasket near the cat.

in the euro if exhaust leaks it would sound farty...

Could be the clutch and clutch springs.

Ok, with my luck i knew the noise would come back. I took the front wheels off the other day and pulled the pads from the calipers to see if i could see anything causing the problem but i can't, when i put it all back together and drove it for a day or so the noise was gone again. I think it could be the clips that hang over the edge of the calipers that hold the pads in the calipers that vibrate on the caliper but thats just a wild guess.

its happens with both throttle or no throttle. it just has to be in gear and it happens

i think you're right. when i push the clutch in the sound goes away.
does this indicate that my clutch is wearing out ?

the sound is getting louder now
