Thank you all for your postings. Got a 03 V6 LX. Makes the noise after backing out of driveway, putting it in drive and driving forward 10 to 15 feet. I wish Honda had this system prime itself in park... Would be less nerve racking. Have taken car to two seperate dealers three times... Notice that temperature has a lot to do with the loudness of the sound. Cold mornings it is very pronounced. Warm days I have to pay a lot of attention to hear it... So thanks for soothing my fears...
