Strange noises are quite hard to diagnose over the internet even for the most knowledgeable of owners here. If the noise is getting worse I would take it to the nearest suspension specialist or Honda dealer straight away and get them to diagnose the problem before something major breaks.

I'll second the wheel-bearing. Does not nose disapaer/appear when you are turning around a conner (in one direction or the other)?

not sure y no-one has mentioned diff !
i am in the process of changing mine , as it has had it

i had funny clicking rear end noise for ages whilst turning . finally there was a massive bang whilst taking a corner rather aggressively followed by loud constant clicking. thought it was the cv joint or driveshaft till i pulled it out and it looked brand new.

will do a write up when the diff is done

At 80000 mine developed a noise which sounded to me like the noise I had before the wheel bearing was replaced. I took it to Honda and they "removed the passenger side rear driveshafts and lubricated dry splines, refitted driveshaft and torqued driveshaft nut to specs".

That fixed the problem. The labour was 2 hours, but covered under the extended warranty.

So it could be bearings, or it could be driveshaft, or it could be something else.

If I were you I would take it to Honda and let them sort it out.
