I have a 1999 Accord 5-speed that is making a strange noise in reverse. It
only seems to happen when backing with the wheels turned sharply to the
right. As I back up and begin to straighten out the wheels I get a buzzing
sound - apparently from under the hood on the right side, but who can really
tell when you're inside the vehicle.

The sound is almost like an electric pump noize or something. Once it starts
it continues until the car is completely stopped. It doesn't seem to matter
whether the clutch is in or out, braking or not. It doesn't sound to me like
brakes, cv joints or a bearing. The noise doesn't seem to change frequency
with the speed but the volume goes doen as the car slows.

It doesn't appear to effect drivability, but the fact that I can't locate it
drives me nuts. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks
