Hollow noise or flutter happens when driving on the highway at any speed. Sound is like when wind is entering a metallic tube or faint and intermittent sound of someone playing congas. Noise seems to originate from the engine compartment. Cannot enjoy the radio nor the ride to and from work.
Update from Feb 10, 2011: Update should have stated that I test drove another Honda Accord 2011-same make and model and the same hollow flutter noise was detected...don't buy the 2011 model if you are sensitive to low frequency hollow flutter sounds that disturb your drive.
