I have just under 190k miles and there is a hum on acceleration/holding rpm cruising, as soon as I get off the throttle it goes away. It scales in volume with RPM, however if I put the car in neutral while rolling and rev it doesn’t sound.
I believe it to be 0% drivetrain related; I could be going 100 mph and I let off the gas it goes away.

can cause basically anything loose to vibrate

#

maybe some rubbers holding the engine or other parts are worn out

#

i once had sounds and vibrations when accelerating and turned out it was a bad catalyzator with the filters inside broken into parts

#

the answer is typical

#

it could be anything except what it cant be

Most reasonable answer I’ve gotten ig

#

Hopefully others will give input

#

The sound has not affected drivability in any way

as always check all fluids including transmission

#

check if something is leaking and check all rubber bushings and mounts

#

@supple igloo did you try turning ac or heating off or on

#

could be some belt driven aggregates next to the engine

#

does it do it in all gears?

I don’t think it’s the transmission. Shifts through all gears smooth and fluid is good color on level
