There is a bee in my Fit lol

well.. it happens when it reaches around 40mph... there is a "buzz" noise coming out somewhere in driver side.... it is coming from left bottom of steering wheel somewhere.. i can't pin point it since i was driving .lol...

it is not "on" always... rather .. on and off...

I don't think it is a serious problem but just a rattling noise .. but it does bother me..

Am i just too picky and should get a Lexus ??

Don't bother, Lexus' rattle is no different than Honda's

See if you can pin point the noise by putting pressure on places where you think it may be coming from when the noise occur while keeping your eyes on the road ofc. It will help the service department when you bring it in and go drive with the service advisor or tech and pin point the noise to make their job easier.

Do you have anything in the left side compartments? Like the one under the fuse/mirror control thingy, or in the handle of the door? I have my bluetooth earpiece on the handle, and it rattles, especially when I have the music loud.

I have noticed similar noise when speed exceeds 45mph. The noise becomes less noticible when speed exceeds 55mph due to louder road noise.
It's different from the wind noise generated by leaky windshield.
It's a high pitched noise, not really rattle.
A senior honda service tech at Palo Alto drove my car for a while before he could notice the noise.
He thought that the noise was too high pitched and probably could only be noticed by someone with very sensitive ears.
He couldn't find any mechanical problem associated with the noise.
So, the solution for me is just to turn on the music louder when I need to drive at speed around 45-55mph.

I had a rattle/buzz that was coming from under the steering wheel on the left side. I decovered that there is a panel under there and there is a pin that holds the panel on and that has like a rubber nipple/gasket over the pin and it had slid out of place, which caused it to rattle. Fixed the little piece of rubber and no more rattlely buzz noise.
