Where are you? 1.8 liters means that's not a USA car. Probably the rear suspension is adjustable but the UK/Euro Accord is a different car vs the USA Accord.
And since the tires are already "cupped" (bumpy uneven wear) an alignment isn't going to fix the noise until you replace the tires.

I don't want to scare you away. We'd like to help where we can, & there's a lot of similarities between the cars.
Here's the USA rear suspension. Generally the inboard end of the links can be adjusted a little. What's not real easy for do-it-yourself is making a good measurement of the angles so you know which way to move them.
Check in the DIY section for a sticky-thread about on-line shop manuals. The few ones that I've looked at seem to be UK cars, because of the engine-size and right-hand drive.
