We are going to need more than that?

Year, trim level as a start. Any recent work to the car?

Is the sound under the hood....under the car...inside the car?

Ok, check the fluid level.....only use Honda/Acura approved fluid in these if it is low.

Next, check the belt....not only to be tight but condition as well. If condition is bad, I'd replace all of them.

Is this the 4 or 6 cyl?
