engine noise

I am getting a noise during acceleration around 2200 - 3000 RPMS sounds like a turbine, like a high pitched whiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sound that get higher as the RPMS increase. not very loud but noticeable.. it is not a sound comming from the stereo i can still hear ut when its off.

put it in park and reved it but couldnt figure out where its comming from any one have any ideas????

1997 3.0 auto

Thank you in advance!

Dean

If the noise is present w/ car stopped and revving the engine, the likly problems are alterantor, Power Steering, idler pulley, or accessory belt. Open hood and use a 3-4 ft length of tube as a stethoscope to localize and identify the source of the noise. Be careful w/ that tube and engine running!

good luck

mine does it cold at idle, but once it warms up, it's good...

I've heard this on other honda's before, so i figure no big deal.
