the noise being present ONLY when decelerating usually indicates a differential ring gear or its bearings. i think honda uses ball bearings for the diff so my guess is the differential ring gear.
load also occurs when your car pitches and dives cause the chassis to flex. If you have any weak points in your suspension you will hear it. I'm absolutley sure its your H-bar at the lower control arms not being tightened down enough thats making the sound. This is a common problem because alot of people have a hard time tightening the bar down good because of the clearance between the floorboard and bolts.
