On another note, I noticed the other day a newer Honda Pilot was making a similar noise while attempting to park. Is this a common noise associated with the honda product or what? I cannot forsee this noise as anything inviting for the long haul. Gracias folks!

A moan or whine is heard when turning the steering wheel when the engine is cold. There may be air bubbles or foam in the power steering reservoir. The noise usually goes away when the engine warms up.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Air enters the power steering pump through the inlet joint O-ring.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the O-ring on the power steering pump inlet joint.

Hmn.. I once drove with the music off at night.
It was aprox. -11 C[not F] and I was speeding it like crazy down the road (hit about 140km/h in a rather short period of time) and during that entire time the car was generating a whining noise or a uh... winding-up noise. Would that be due to the same situation?

Power steering pump and O ring.
Just got my car back last night. Same year, same mileage.
Brought it in for maintenance, mentioned noise in engine comparment(after already knowing people were complaining about this issue), got a call later that afternoon that my pump and O rings were changed free of charge. Picked up last night, like new!
Don't wait any longer, not worth the worry.

Hey thanks guys for the responses, very helpful
. I'll have the techs check that about the power steering. However in my opinion I really think it's something derived from the powertrain. Everytime we put it into gear the noise comes about but when we place it into park or neutral the noise stops. I am by far no mechanic it's just what my wife and I have observed over the past month. Also as mentioned before I noticed a Honda Pilot making a very similar noise in a parking lot one day, is that a typical noise of Honda products or what?

sorry to bump this, but did you find the solution? From what you described it sounds similiar to my current problem which is NOT the Powersteering issue, I have had mine fixed already, this is totally something new.
Mine makes the same noise while it is in gear as well, sound is emitting fromthe passenger side near the belts and crank pulley...just wondering if you got it solved ... thanks!
