Try putting the car in neutral or turning on the AC. Mine does the same thing; I think it’s a combination of Honda setting low idle speeds to save fuel and using lousy motor mounts. Every single four-banger Honda I’ve owned has behaved like this.

Hello,
I read from an hereabove post (Noclue02 , post#9) there was a noise. Do you hear any noise coming from under the hood, a noise which intensity fluctuate and might peak to a point people on sidewalks may turn their head to look what's wrong? If so, I may have a video of this sound that I'd be willing to share, but keep in mind it comes from a 2015 V6 AWD.

That's pretty bad if someone on the sidewalk can hear lol. Mine isn't that bad at the time, but shortly after I posted that, I also discover new noises when I accelerate under low speed. There was a clunking noises under the hood. So after a few trips back to the dealership, couple rides with the tech, they finally agreed to *try* and replace the tranny mount. That fixed all the clunking, rattling noises for me. The only thing they couldn't do is the vibration, and I pretty much gave up on that after I read on here that is sort of normal for a 4 cylinders car.

Try to get them replace the front engine mount and the tranny mount if you can (if it still under warranty). At first, they keep saying nothing is wrong with my engine mount and car is normal. After I complained many times, including calling HQ, they said the front mount is leaking so they replaced that. That helped mine a bit but does not get rid of the problem. I believe they upgraded to a beefier looking mount, and when I first got it, the car was much smoother. That joy only lasted about a month lol. They just replace random part(s) just for customer satisfactory, there isn't much they can do or know what to do in my case.

Hey guys does it sound like this?Mines started about a month ago,only does it when it starts idling near 600 when ac and fans off,no load on engine.Took to dealer today of course it didnt want to do it while was there,but tech said he pretty sure he knows what I'm talking about,and not sure theres a fix,he said they'll document and contact acura engineers about,but warned me that there response since 2015 is that it's a characteristic of car.

there are more than one ways to cause vibrations; proving to be even harder than squeaks.

I believe the motor mounts have a vacuum to them. When you are on the gas, the motor mounts are supposed to "tighten up", this is useful around corners. maybe there's a vaccum leak.

maybe the engine is giving off a certain frequency that the Acura Engineers couldnt dampen. and it shows up as vibration.

give me a break with this crap. No one is expecting perfection but there is a certain baseline when it comes to quality control the car should meet. A very noticeable vibration noise (like 4 or 5 iPhones are all vibrating at the same time) every time I come to a stop, put the car in reverse, or idle at a red light is unacceptable. Acura shrugging their shoulders and not finding a fix for this is unacceptable. I’ve been dealing with this for 6 months. Have wasted countless Saturday’s at the dealer trying to get this fixed. I even let them keep my car for over 2 weeks so they could call in an tech from Acura and the problem still hasn’t been fixed. This is my second Acura lease and likely my last after all this.

I checked my car, and it idles at 650rpms. The vibration is slight, but I can definitely feel it through the seats. However, if you stick the pad of you finger in between the steering wheel horn and the silver surround, it's much more noticeable. If someone claims they can't feel it, have them do that and see what they say.

I had a rattling sound in my TLX 2.4 when the car was in drive and at a stop light or while parking. Turns out is was a bad transaxle mount.
