Default car makes buzzing sound around 2000 rpm

First let me say that my car has issues. Recently the crank sensor
broke. I took it to a mechanic. The mechanic felt that the sensor was
broken because a couple of gears had worn and caused the pulley to rub
up against the sensor. Getting to the point... The timing belt was
replaced along with the crankshaft seal, crank sensor a gear, the
timing gear and a belt. The car runs OK except as the engine passes
2000 rpm it makes a buzzing sound. If you hold the rpm at 1950 the
sound is constant. It is more noticeable as the rpm decreases but it
is noticeable in both directions. There also seems to be a vibration
that I can feel in the steering wheel when the car is running above
2000 rpm. This vibration was not present before the repair.

Some time back I had the timing belt replaced by another mechanic and
as I recall I had a similar problem. After an adjustment the problem
was fixed.

Could anyone tell me what kind of adjustment would fix the problem or
what might cause the problem.

Thanks so much for the help ... Michael

In which case they all make the buzzing sound.
It's nearer 1800 rpm than 2000 and it's a known
issue on these cars. There was a "buzz kit" available
but it tended to only work for a few months. Honda
maintained that the buzz was not causing any
mechanical problems so wouldn't fix it free.

Do a google groups search on "buzz kit" for more
info.

HTH,
Al

I was thinking that it had something to do with the installation of the
timing belt. Is it possible that a belt that is to tight could cause
such a problem? Is it possible to put the belt on say one tooth off
and it still work, but cause this problem? I did not have the problem
before the maintenance was done on the car.

Thanks again ... Michael
