Default Really weird noise

So Im driving yesterday and twice during my trip I heard a horn like noise very loud coming from under the hood or somewhere in the front of the car. I wasnt hitting my brakes at all so it wasnt a squeaking that brakes make or the metal to metal contact that youd hear from brakes/rotors. It literally sounded like a little train horn going off LOL what in the world could that be? Was it air pressure coming from something? My car ended up shutting off a few times as I was driving too but completely fine in idle... Im assuming its some kind of fuel issue and Im hoping the noise was related.

I have a 95 Accord EX V6

Please put your car's information in your signature, so we know what you drive.

check coolant. when they get hot they can build up pressure. watch your temp gauge, and all that.

i ran the codes and they had to do with the camshaft positioning, im assuming my oil leaks have been present for too long and the sensors are most likely covered in oil. i plan on finding a sensor and replacing my gaskets to stop these oil leaks.
