Will it make the same sound when the vehicle is not moving?
Are you turning, or braking when you hear the sound?
Does it sound like it coming from the front or back?
It could be a hub bearing, bad CV shaft or even a bad tire.[quote]is it the engine, suspension, or tire?….where do you hear it from=under the bonnet, inside car, or in the back section?[color=#0000ff][b]
We certainly need more information than this in order to help you out. Beyond that, it’s all guesswork. Could be a tire that lost a weight and is tossing the suspension around or it’s something in the driveline most likely because the engine will hit similar RPM ranges as it goes through the gears so one could speculate that it would have to do with something that increases in speed up to 30+ mph. Does it matter how hard you accelerate or is the noise their regardless of whether you are accelerating or cruising?

Yup.
Do you think you could drive with a friend and post a video that records the problem? Does the sound only occur when in gear, and when you shift into neutral while driving at speed, does it change in quality? If you downshift, does the quality of the sound change? How are the fluids in your vehicle? Is it worse when turning one way?
Say, Hondaslave, you look like you could be Eric’s brother, ha ha.Yea I think I need more info as well. If it’s an engine problem it might make the same noise if you just brought the engine to the same RPM when it made the noise, if not you might be able to ‘power brake’ it to see if you can get it to make the noise under load, put it in drive or reverse (in a safe area) and hit the gas as you hold you foot on the brake, don’t do this for too long just long enough to see if you can dupoicate the noise. If it’s speed related it could be a tire, bearing, transmission problem or ‘other’ it’s hard to say. The next step is to study the noise and see if you can nail down the effected system.
