The noise occurs if I coast without braking and when I hit the brakes. It sounds like it's coming from the auto trans.

Anyone else have this and been able to determine the source?
Thanks

I had a similar noise and it was the tires, the front tire had all the blocks of the tread chamfered backward.
I think the noise is one continuous noise above that speed and breaks down into a grinding noise around 23mph due to the resonance of the car body.
New Hankooks all around and it was a whole new car, one size larger on the back and the ride was improved from painfully harsh and noisy to easily bearable, but I am still adding the Konis.

See my old post, it started at 20 mph and got worse till it started at 23mph as noted in post #16.
