I have a 1990 integra sedan, from yesterday i am hearing a howling noise in
the back of the car. i did not change my tyres, still have the same tyres i
bought the car with. any suggestions on the problem or problems because i
know it's getting old.

Wheel bearings are my first thought. By the time they reach the howling
stage they are easy enough to diagnose - the rear wheels are lifted off the
ground and the wheels rotated by hand, feeling for drag or binding. If one
is bad it is not necessary to change both.

Swap the tires front to back and see if the noise changes. If it does not,
it's probably a wheel bearing. If it moves, it's the tires.
