Gas padel and brake vibration on 07 FX35 AWD at 1750 ~2000 rpm

I tried to search this on the site but couldn't find anything similar.
I recently noticed that my FX vibrates through the gas pedal when it hits 1800 ~2000 rpm range, and at higher rpm the vibration is gone. But when it is cruising back to this rpm range, the small vibration is back. I can also feel this at the brake pedal when I brake to this rpm range. I believe this car was like this since I got it a year ago with 28K miles on it. I was driving a 99 Accord and with the 150000 miles it had, vibration was norm hence I didn't pay much attention to this vibration. But now I have driven this car longer and started to feel the details about the FX. I also plan to F/I this car later hence I want to know there is no issue with the engine.
Do any of you feel the same drone at this rpm range? If not, is anything going wrong?

Thanks for your time.
 
i'm no tech but things you might consider testing/checking:

all wheels/tires balanced or rotated them and test?
all tires have same psi?
does the steering wheel shakes along with gas pedal?
wheel alignment?, when was it last done?
any bearing sounds or noise on the road?
does it vibrate when brake is applied?
still have warranty? have a dealer review if so.

Thanks for your recommendations....
The wheels/tires are balanced 3 months ago with alignment. The vibration is tiny, as you have a tiny messager on your foot. And the steering wheel does not shake along with this. It is very small but can be annoying when you are cruising around 55 to 60 mph. It's gone once I got over 61 mph. (Something that makes me want to speeding all the time :tongue (2): LoL...)
The vibration doesn't happen when I brake at the other rpms, only when the rpm hits 2000 it starts and is gone after it goes down to 1750.
I am just out of the 4 yr B-B warranty this Sept. (Damn...should've gone checking it out before that), does the drive train warranty still work on this?
Thanks.
 
glad you resolved it, wheel bearing is a common issue but usually at lower speeds with grinding noise.
