    Do you have power steering fluid in your reservoir? Is it a moaning sound?

      It's called cavitation. The noise you're hearing is air being sucked into the pump from somewhere. check for low oil or leaks if not that. it could be bearing noise from the pump. I believe I saw a good writeup on a pump rebuild. If you have the time it can save you mucho $$$. The kit sells for about $20. from autozone and did not look that hard to do.

        Not sure if he has an h22a in his car running the stock accord pump with his setup. Not really sure I was guessing that on his sn but didnt want to jump to conclusions. But if thats the case the high pressure line is prob being restricted with the accord hood hittin it (Mine did that with h22 and stock accord ps pump) But give us a lil more info. That should help out.

          Check the fluid level and conidition. If its dirty, suck it out of there and replace with new.

              My pwr steering pump does this as well for about 2mins when starting up....it also has no pwr steering within that couple mins until it warms up. Mine actually sounds like the bearings letting go. Its a awful sound.

                Both pumps are the same to my knowledge. MY pump didnt make any noise when I had the a6. Or no noise audible enough to hear in the cabin.

                    For the last few days my Wrangler and Ranger ps pumps were making a noise at startup and under extreme cold weather. I think its a common thing on older cars, I wouldn't change the pumps out. Wait until the weather warms up and then see.
