2012 Honda Pilot EX-L, about 177,000 miles. There is a low hum that rises with road speed regardless of engine RPM.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2012 Honda Pilot, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Was this after sitting overnight? If the story changes I'll post the new data.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2012 Honda Pilot before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2012 Honda Pilot in Raleigh with 177,000 miles. Just my two cents from doing this recently. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2012 Honda Pilot. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2012 Honda Pilot owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
