Noises problem
2005 Honda Civic 4 cyl Manual 42000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
When I drive over about 40 MPH, I notice a sound coming from the front of my car. It sounds sort of like a motorcycle is approaching (moderately loud engine like sound). The faster I go, the louder it gets. However, I don't think it's related to the engine; I actually turned off my car while coasting down a hill and the sound still was there; and increased as I picked up speed. I haven't noticed any performance changes, but the sound is definitely new. Any idea what this is?
I bought this Civic in February, and it has a warranty, but the dealer charges $70 for diagnosis if it's not a warranty covered problem, and they have a habit of telling me one thing is wrong with my car (something not warranty covered) when it' something totally different (that is warranty covered), so I try to diagnose before taking it in....
Thanks!
