the car's so noisy at high speeds..even with all the windows closed the pessanger normally have to talk at a higher pitch to talk to each other..i remember my 2nd gen. was hellof a lot quiter than this...this car has new tyres while my previous one had totally worn out ones..so its not the tyres.
For their day their areo numbers aren't that bad. But you have to realize that the science of noise reduction and sound deadning wasn't very good then. I can hear a awfull lot of mechanical sounds and not allot of wind noise in my car.Originally posted by ChthonicPowers

Well, that's what I used to have, wrecked, 7/3/02.
Now I d

I get alot of wind noise from the passenge side, but my car is an 19 with 216k on it. Every thing has an explanation.:super:
END OF LINE.
Last time I took my accord at high speeds, (All The Time When Engine Ran) I never heard any sounds, I could close the windows, turn off everything in the car and just cruize at 100+mph and it didn't make one rattle, no whistling of any cracks in the windows, Nothing, It was quiet........And definatly no vibrations in the steering wheel. I see that funny since my brother has hit a snow bank at 50mph, hit a cone while being a smart ass on the highway at 80mph, the passenger side front wheel is pushed back about an inch and theres still no noises.
There is one oddity with the 3G Accord and with the 2 and 3G Ludes as well. Over time, the screws holding the striker plates to the door jams, tend to get loose. When this happens, the doors do not close all the way. This causes wind or road noise in the cabin, especially at highway speeds or during windy conditions. Check to see if your striker plates have loosend up and tighten them. If you have no idea what the striker plates are, they are the chrome colored pieces on the doorjam, with loops that the door latch catches on.
My dads 88 Lude Si has that problem.
mine is relatively quiet on the highway, but it doesn't handle quite as well as i would like. i know honda's are supposed to drive great at highway speeds, but i guess its just age. the steering wheel becomes loose and thats actually about it. it could be a smoother ride though

wheel bearings on the front left wheel seem to be making a little noise..but thats so minor that it goes away by the time car is doing 10MPH..and I really have to crouch and pay attention to hear it..
Its wind noise which is the problem....even the dealer remarked on the high wind noise on the car...all the door hinges and striker plates on my car are in fine working order...the car still has that large thunk noise of a new car when you close the doors..and they close very tight....so i doubt its the doors
I do realise that..but the thing is why was my last car (2nd gen. Accord) quiter than my current?Originally posted by Jims 86LXI HB

What about the seals around the outside of the doors? As they get old, they start to crack.....check those if you already havent.
Its a seal somewhere, I know that! Something rubber is messed up!
Nate.
hmm..I'll check that out
I got an odd noise at high speeds and it sounds like the wind it pushing thought the passenger side door and it becomes loud some times but i really dont know how to fix that.
Wheelies!!!!!
yeah should be the seals that nate's talking about. These cars did very well with the mags I read about the interior sounds. Of course, our cars are quite old now.
Mine's still nice and quiet on the highway:flipa: hehe It would probably be even quieter if I put the front fender liners back in, but oh well. I do get a small bit of wind noise through the sunroof though (ever since I replaced the glass ???). Something popped out when I took the old one out, and I wasn't able to put it back in, so I think that's why. I just close the sunshade though and it goes away.

just wondering..do USDM Accord's have tinted rear view mirrors to prevents glare. secondly, can the horn on you guys car be activated from anywhere on the steering wheel??
The rearview mirrors do have the little switch thingy on them (to kinda flip it up a bit) for when somebody is behind you with bright lights, if that's what you mean. The 86-87's you could push anywhere in the mid part of the steering wheel for the horn. The 88-89's had 4 individual horn buttonsOriginally posted by ChthonicPowers

guys, my car has nothing in it. and i mean NOTHING. it took everything out except for the drivers seat, it all needs to be redone, after all the performance stuff, and my car is really quiet. i hear the breaks, and the suspension when i hit a bump, but other then that, its relativly quiet. oh yeah, it smokes though, i never got an answer about that either.... huh
Car: 1986 Honda Accord LXi Hatchback.
Heart: A20A @ 9_ hp?
Mods: Partially removed front and rear bumper. Keyed with large dent along passenger side. Dimpled hood with encrusted bird droppings for added effect. Locked right emergency break (Recently "fixed").

I got some noice in mine. It got quieter when I adjusted the doors some; getting them straight and level is a pain in the ass. Also, it does help to replace all your suspension bushings
