Wierd Humming/vibration noise at 65+ 03 TL-S

i was driving down the hwy this morning and did not have my radio on and at 65MPH+ I got this wierd humming/ vibration noise coming from the front end of my car. The best way to describe this sound is how a crotch rocket sounds about 50-60yards ahead of you. It was rather faint but never the less I heard the sound.... as I decreased under 65 the noise dissappeared. As I sped up it got louder, and if a cross wind blew against my car the noise would change in pitch. I usually never drive with my radio off but i even turned it on and still heard the noise. So this is a new sound..... I have a warranty so im not too worried but i dont have the time to let Acura have my car. And I dont want to drive a car that is louder than my tires against the road.. Any Suggesstions?

is any thing loose on the front of the car, any plastic fenderliners or something like that? is it the tires actually making the noise? or the engine? you need to try to narrow it down a little bit

Most likely either a wheel bearing noise or a bearing in the differential. We see quite a few w/ the noise you're describing and it's usually one of these 2 things.

Same thing happened to me a while back but at different speeds. Get it checked out IMMEDIATELY! If it's the wheel bearing like someone said (and like I suspect), it's a great danger to you.
