I have a 2016 Civic EX-T sedan and just took it in for an oil change/checkup at 50,000 miles (I know I'm racking up the miles quick). I had them change the oil/filter, rotate the tires, and also change the CVT fluid since it seemed like it was due (based on the dealer opinion and some internet searching I figured it couldn't hurt).
Well about a week after I got it back I started noticing a constant droning sound at speeds above 30 mph, loudest at highway speeds. It sounds as if I'm driving next to someone with a crappy exhuast. It doesn't seem to be coming from the engine, and the pitch changes with vehicle speed but NOT engine speed.
Could this be something with the CVT? I don't hear it when I rev the car in park and it's difficult to pinpoint where the sound is coming from but it's just a constant droning noise that gets higher pitched the faster I go. I'm wondering if it's the CVT or a wonky tire. Maybe I have a rock stuck in the tread. Any ideas?
Thanks!
