Ok guys, I bought this Honda Civic 2005, and I only noticed this after I bought it, when I test drove it -- I didn't hear it..

my friend tells me it's a Wheel Balance problem...

if you have headphones, put them on as you'll be able to hear it better.

listen carefully to 0:10 - 0:16 and 0:42 - 0:46

it's this vibrating/pulsating sound.. it's not a Wheel Bearing problem, that one is a totally different noise, I'm thinking this is Wheel Balance myself, but I'm not that knowledgeable about cars anyway.

What do you all think it is?

Also I might add that the car is out of alignment...it pulls to the right, could it all be causing it?

Too much work to just listen to the clip, but I agree, it doesn't sound right

Either your rotors are warped, tires are off balance, or alignment or all 3

Does your steering wheel shake when you drive?

What do you mean it's too much work. You click on a link, wait 40 seconds, click again...

no the wheel doesn't shake

Most of us, that sit in front of the computer all day...
are so lazy, that if there isnt a play button right in front of us, we wont go thru a bunch of trouble to listen to a clip :P
Just sayin

Well, if the steering wheel doesnt shake, it probably eliminates rotors, but I would still get your car aligned and balanced
