Default 04' Accord "wheeling" noise

I have a 2004 Honda Accord EX V6 with 90,000 miles. I have been hearing a "wheeling" noise when I first start the car every day. The noise is more profound when I accelerate or turn the wheel. The sound only last for about 5 minutes and never happens again (no matter how many times I start the car during the day). I have checked the belt, power stearing fluid and all are good. Any ideas?

Sometimes an accessory belt idler will make noise (bearing) for a short while and then go silent when it warms. It's low on grease and will eventually fail.

Power steering can make noises when cold on some cars.

Suggest trying to source the noise origin w/a short tube as a "stethoscope" to pinpoint source. Careful for those moving parts!

good luck
