Just picked up a 2000 EX Coupe - Weird loud buzz while driving (Video Inside)
Hey
I just bought a 2000 EX Coupe with 160k. Runs amazing, passed NY inspection no problem, and has maintenance records for the past 12 years. Only thing I'm currently running into is this weird intermittent buzz that happens while I'm driving on the parkway. I was able to record it here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6Vd358dFxPPN1osN2
It doesn't seem to affect the way it drives at all. Does anyone have idea what it could be? It seems to come from the dashboard area, closer to the right side by the glove box (but not inside).
Thanks!

Sounds like it might be a relay buzzing, could be on the way out.
Get someone in the passenger seat with the glovebox removed and see if they can feel what relay is buzzing

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

That sounds pretty effin annoying.
Use your phone to your advantage if you only drive by yourself. Take video, keep moving the phone around to locate where noise is loudest....replay video to 'see' where to look on the car
Otherwise, put someone with two good working ears in the passengers seat to move their head around to find where the noise is loudest.
Loose moldings on the outside of the car, such as windshield trim, door trim, roof gutter trim?
Find a suspect? Stick it with masking tape or completely cover an area (trim) with it and drive it again, see if noise is gone.
