I'd like to know if I'm the only one experiencing this potential issue...
I've noticed a humming noise from what my ears tell me is the rear right of the car when cruising at varying road speeds (35, 45, 70 mph). I can't replicate it and it seems to come out of nowhere, growing from silence to a medium-loud hum (300-500Hz range), holding its volume for 1-5 seconds, then fading back to nothing. The frequency doesn't seem to change with speed. Twice I had the mind to take my foot off the gas pedal when the noise started and it ceased immediately. It happens maybe once a week or every other week when I'm driving at constant speed.
I'm concerned it's drivetrain related - like a joint or bushing that will fail over time, or one of these hums will get louder and not go away except with a sudden "BANG".
Has anyone else heard odd, soft humming like this?
