How the Inside Tread on Both the Rear Tires ?
Yes I have same issues found in my new 2020 Honda accord hybrid today. I found when IAlmost without fail, whenever my 2018 Accord Hybrid hits 55MPH (not above or below - right at 55) there is a loud humming. A slight vibration or droning noise if you will. I have seen reference to noise canceling issues or this happing at lower speeds or it goes away after the car warms up. For me, it only happens right at 55. Warm or cold.
As such, just like Sammy Hagar, I can’t drive 55.
Has anyone else experienced this or gotten an explanation from the dealer? I haven’t been able to schedule the 3-4 hours they want to diagnose it (but with my luck they won’t be able to recreate it ?)
First... Welcome to the forum.... glad to have you join us.I bought a 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid five days ago. I noticed this loud harmonic noise two days after purchase. It seems to occur around 54 mph. I had my car into my local Honda dealer today. They heard the noise too. They could not figure it out so they contacted Honda America. They learned this is a known problem and it is under investigation. They are ordering three noise cancelling microphones for my car. They will have to remove the headliner, check the insulation, and replace one or two or all three of the mics. They told me there was a 50 50 chance this would fix the problem. I am really not happy about this. I barely have 400 miles on this car. Since this is a known problem I don't know why they are selling these cars when the issue is not resolved. At the very least they should disclose the issue to customers BEFORE they sell you the car. Once the parts are in and installed I will let you know if it resolves the issue or not.
Thank you. I live in California. I have previously owned a 2000 Honda Accord SE and a 2016 Honda Accord V6 Touring. I loved them both. I only traded in the 2016 because I wanted better gas mileage and I got a pretty good offer from the dealer. I am unsure about what I want to do at this point. Hopefully the repair will fix the problem. American Honda does not seem to be in any rush to resolve this matter as it apparently is a known issue on 2018, 2019, and 2020 Honda Accord Hybrids. Their investigation seems awfully slow. Beyond this very annoying noise I do really like the car. I guess I will just keep my fingers crossed that replacing the mic(s) will fix it. I will let you know the results. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! ?First... Welcome to the forum.... glad to have you join us.
Depending on where you are located and only owning the car for five days you may be able to cancel the deal and walk away from the car. Along w/that if you decide to keep it you may want to look into the lemon laws for your state. Most lemon laws allow a certain amount of return visits for the same problem w/o it being corrected you can return the car.
Now, on the other hand if you really like the car and want to give Honda a chance to correct it you may have to be patient. They have admitted they are aware of the issue so that in itself is a plus (a lot better than them saying no issue exists). Hopefully this issue will be resolved and those affected will be satisfied when it is. Good luck and keep us posted.

Yes, yes, yes. Mine is at 52 precisely. I call it roaring noise...Almost without fail, whenever my 2018 Accord Hybrid hits 55MPH (not above or below - right at 55) there is a loud humming.

Noise Cancellation system issue. The dealer needed to be essentially led by hand to find a fix.
They reflashed my Vehicles center/audio software.
I also had the rubber seal for the driver side door (the thin strip that connects close to the rear door).
Overtime getting in and out of the car, with the seat sitting so low, We are not noticing that our arms we are not noticing that our shoulders or forearms are rubbing against that material which can wear it.
I asked the dealer to install another rubber strip and reinstalled my software and the issue was finally resolved. Just resetting the software through the touch screen will not fix it.
The android-based software the vehicle uses, I think is the problem.
Sometimes the system will act wonky, and essentially will force you to do a reset. But after the dealership reinstalled my software the drowning noise went away.
My 2018 Accord Hybrid does the exact same thing - seems to coincide with the CVT when "gears" shift, but not all the time. I've taken it to the dealer to check it out - they have no clue why it's making this annoying sound :-OAlmost without fail, whenever my 2018 Accord Hybrid hits 55MPH (not above or below - right at 55) there is a loud humming.
