cycling on/off humming/vibration from the left front 70-80mph
Honda Fit 2016
cycling on/off humming/vibration from the left front 70-80mph
the cycle is faster as faster the car goes from 70-80mph
I did rotation and balance, didn't help.
wheel bearing checked nothing wrong with it.
I jacked up both wheels still have the noise 70-80mph specially more notable on deceleration.
the cars is new, has only 2k when I bought it salvage due to paint damage.
I took it to transmission shop they said it doesn't sound the transmission.
could the axle cv be out of balance ?!

Couple of possibilities come to mind. It may just be a noisy tread pattern on the tires. The Fit does not come with superior tires from the factory, but rather ones that are probably as cheap as they could find while still being round and rubber and able to hold air on the inside.
It could be a jack shaft or CV joint, too, though I'd rather doubt it in a new car.
I'm assuming your "translation shop" is a "transmission shop." C'est vrai?

thanks Drew for your replay, yes transmission
, I fixed the miss spelling, I wished if I can fix the humming problem too 
at the beginning I thought it might be the tires tread, but too things did put this off the table, one I replaced the front driver wheel with the spare tire, it didn't help, second I jacked up both front wheel and run the wheels to 80mph speed and the humming still there, I had to disconnect the ABS, otherwise it will keep breaking.

Salvage title due to crash damage, wheel bearing bad on whichever side is noisy?
Raise both front tires off the ground, have someone in the car to hold gas pedal at speed, feel the coil spring on each side.....vibration from a bad bearing can usually be felt through the spring.
Or use a prybar to carefully slow and stop one of the spinning tires at a time and see if the noise gets louder or stops.
Do this with the speedometer at half of the speed the noise was noticed though, because when you stop one spinning tire the other side doubles its speed.

I know that 99% times noises are caused by wheel bearing, but not in my case, I bought a whole spindle with good bearing driver side front where the sound coming from, replaced the old one with it and the noise still there!.
