Anyone? When I back up on my 2006 I hear a hummm,. I have also heard it from another Honda one day when it was backing up.

 

mine deos it too, i've heard others does it as well, i dont think you need to worry about it

 

um...all cars make a some kind of whine or humm when your in reverse...does this sound get louder the faster you go?

 

^ mine does

 

I have not noticed if it get louder when going faster, I think it does but not sure as I am usually going slow to un park

 

mine does it as well.


no worriessss

 

Most manufacturers use a straight cut gear for the reverse gear in transmissions. Because of this, it will make a whine/or hum. I don't know the technical reasons for this, I just know it is what they do.

So you don't worry about it

 

I only hear the whine/hum sound when backing up in reverse on cars with a manual trans, autos don't seem to make this noise.

 

my old automatic 93 Civic did it

I think it's more noticeable with manuals because in reverse it's hard to back up slowly and balance the clutch just right to get a smooth and slow back up. The thing always wants to buck.

 

Its normal im pretty sure every civic does it, lower gears tend to be whiny.
