I have a 2010 RX350 which makes a humming noise between 30-35 mph, both while accelerating and decelerating. It's loud and driving me nuts. What could it be?

I also feel a vibration on the accelerator when this happens.

It could be bad tires to worn motor mounts.
If the tires are in good shape, rotate them to see if it makes a difference. If not, you could have a bad hub, or motor mount, based on the minimal information. The transmission and drive axle are also possible problems.

Keep an eye on your temperature gauge until we figure this out, just in case & see if it climbs much/any at highway speeds.

SOURCE: There is a loud noise at 45mph.

Find a quiet empty stretch of road. Go 50 mph, put the trans in NEUTRAL and shut the engine. If noise is still there, swing car left and right to detect noise differences. Could be hub or axle bearings. Not engine or trans if noise is still there. Hope this helps

Check the fluid level and make sure. If the fluid level is not the problem, I would have someone do a complete check on the front end.

SOURCE: Deceleration whining/humming noise

I would tell the dealer you want your rear differential opened up, checked, and more fluid added. There really is no test they can do other than to pop the cover off the differential.

Humming

Chances are it's the tires rather than the engine.
Does the hum diminish if you back off the accelerator? If yes, then look at rear axle pinion bearing. If no, then feel across the tires. They should be smooth across. If they're rough, they will make a loud howling noise.
