Grinding noise when accelerating 2016 ex-t

[sh123321]

Hey guys, I have a 2016 ex-t civic and whenever I accelerate there is a grinding sound that sounds like it is coming from the passenger wheel well. The grinding sound has been there for about 2 years since I got the car back in 2016. Been to the dealership a few times and they can never replicate the issue. Just wondering if anyone has come across it. thanks,

Sounds more like a vibration once you hit a certain rpm?

Does it also happen when you rev in Neutral or Park?

Were you able to go along with them for the ride test? It’s funny how many issues can suddenly be replicated when the customer is there as well...

Sorry for the late response, I haven't been able to replicate it in park or neutral

yea its like a grinding/groaning sound that happens during acceleration from a dead stop, the weird thing is that it doesn't happen all the time

I downloaded the video and boosted the volume a bit. That, to my ear, sounds like a rattle rather then a grind. My first guess would be that the metal skid plate underneath is loose or is missing a bolt or fastener. You could also look for a wire harness or cable that's vibrating against the chassis in the engine bay in that area.

Was the issue resolved?
Mine does the same noise but only when I accelerate between 1-1.5k rpm and then it goes away.

Any update? My honda Insight has the exact same issue, making a grinding noise when I accelerate and it dissapears above 30km/h.

Here's a clip:

Anyone got an idea what is wrong?

@Aliaz mine does this too 2016 Honda civic ex posted a video on here of course no one responded too, still haven’t found the solution no one seems to know. Mine is louder however. I attached video for your reference let me know if mine is similar to what you are hearing.

Yes it sound simmilar, I figured it could be 2 things:

1. Serpentine belt or one of the pulleys it drives needs replacement.
2. A shield underneath the car wich is loose and grinds at a certain RPM

I haven't fixed it yet will soon go to a garage to change the serpentine belt and take a look at a loose shield underneath

@Aliaz i just left shop it’s the valves for me. Unreal 120,000 miles and constant routine oil changes and babying this car and this is what happens, idc what anyone says but I’ve had a lot of other cars I. My life my 2002 Jeep liberty is more quiet then this, nothing but excuses from Honda whenever I say something bad about them, but this car has been nothing short of a headache since I’ve gotten it and I’ll never buy another one. JUNK.

@Aliaz nvm want the valves mine still does it no one can find the problem so I’m over it, I hope you get yours fixed.
