Do you have the CVT? The CVT in my 2003 Civic has a steel belt that makes
a noticeable amount of high pitched noise. I rarely notice it if the radio
is on, but the car is so quiet otherwise that I sometimes think there is a
police car coming from somewhere a block away as I'm slowing for a stop
with the radio off...
At 70-80mph there's too much other noise in the Civic for me to notice the
CVT, but maybe that's different in the Accord.
The noise is a high enough pitch that different people hear it differently.
