1) When do you hear the sound?
2) Does the sound change when you drive faster of slower?
3) After you drive the car does the center hub feel hot?

Sounds to me like you may be driving with your front windows up and your rear windows down.

I didn't say anything about you being a drinker There is actually a cyclic build up and release of air pressure that occurs at a rate of right at 3 times a second at 100 Km/H when the front windows are up and the rear windows are down... The sound I am talking about sounds very much like a helicopter more than an airplane though...

If it sounds like marbles or metal balls in an empty can that is being shaken and the exhaust noise is loud, it could be a loose baffle inside the muffler...

I'm still not understanding where the noise is coming from? What's the word in Mongolian?

That does sound like it could be the rear wheel bearings.

That's what I was thinking.

mfs_axis raise that wheel off the ground and check by spinning. Hear noise? If so you need to replace the hub bearing unit.

I'm looking at a 1020 Fit.
You say you have a 2003.
You can replace the rear wheel bearing on that year I believe.
The Fit came to the USA in 2007 - that year they had replaceable bearings.

If anyone knows if a 2007 bearing will work in a 2003 Fit they cost $35US.
