My Honda CVT makes some odd noises, especially in reverse, but that
wouldn't be the same as your Accord. Perhaps it has electrically engaged
clutches. My Chrysler automatic had electric clutches, and you could hear
them engage, almost like a very heavy zipper. This was more noticeable
when the transmission was cold.
