Default sound in the engine bay

hi, i have a 98 civic ex coupe, today when i was turning left, i heard this weird noise on the right side of the car, but dunno where it came from, sounds like a cellular phone vibrating, but is wasn't my cell, does anyone know what that is?

Also in my engine bay, i heard this spinning sound, sounds like something is loose and moving, does anyone what that is too?

Also i have a short ram intake on my car, when i pull on the gas cable, i can hear the intake sucking in air, but when i let it go, i heard this "boom" sound, does anyone know what that is too?

Thanks you very much!!!

Thats the engine, it turns the wheels and makes the car move.

i think i have the same problem... except mine is a screaching sound that goes "gee-gee-gee" on and off. i noticed that sound when i am at dead stop at a light, and when i gently tap the brakes... it makes that sound. i still haven't figured out what it is.. my guess is it oculd be the fan... who knows. does urs sound like that?

humm... never have that problem. the only boom boom sound i hear is when i am ripping through the gears... and when i shift too slow... i hear quiet subtle boom boom from my evo exhaust.
