Default Strange 'buzzing' sound

My 94 accord ex makes this strange 'buzzing' sound intermittently. It does it all the time, i would say every two or three minutes but it only lasts about a second or two. I might describe it as a grinding sound but it sounds more like a buzz to me. Any ideas?....oh it seems to be coming from the drivers side of the engine.

The ABS unit...probably low on fluid because it's probably leaking.

i think it's the ABS unit too. My 95 accord has the same problem as yours. The ABS light comes on too. Now it's even worst, there's no sound anymore. It's probably dead now........

The ABS unit on a 5th gen Accord sits right behind the driver's headlight assembly. There's a rubber plug on the top about the size of a quarter (probably gray in color). that's where you fill the reservoir. Keep in mind there is a bulletin on this generation Accord, where the ABS unit leaks, and that's why the reservoir keeps going dry. It involves loosening and retightening some of the plugs on the ABS unit. I don't recommend you try and do this yourself, because it's a bitch. I've done a few at work...NOT easy.

Go to autozone, figure out what the code is an work from there...obviously it's connected to your problem.
