There has been quite a bit of discussion about the noises made
by Honda's.  I had this explained to me quite recently and will relay
to you what I was told by our local Honda service department.  There
are TWO noises that come from the rear end of our 1981 Honda Accord.
The first is a "rattle" that comes from the left rear - mainly in
cold weather.  I was told that this was the fuel pump, and Honda's
are notorious for their noisy fuel pumps.  The noise goes away after
a couple of minutes of driving.

The second noise is a "whining" that I was told had to do with the
emission control system on the Honda.  It has something to do with
vapors being routed back through the system rather than sent out into
the air.  The whining noise occurs in WARM weather, and frequently
continues for 10-15 seconds after the car is turned off.
