Your ABS system buzzes. That's normal for most integras.

My GSR does the same thing. My friend all have GSR's, but I have the oldest one (94). I think it has to do something with the ABS malfunctioning. I means it will stop making the noise if you put some brake fluid in the opening, but if your ABS is leaking like mines then it will come back soon. Best thing I could try is replace the ABS motor, and see if that works. I am going to try that soon and let you knwo if that works.

Ok my car makes the same buzzing sound and was wondering where does the abs fluid go? I poped opened my hood this morning and was looking at where all the abs wires go to and its a lil reservoir but its screwed down. Does this mean I have unscrew it in order to fill it? Also is there specific abs fluid or what?
TIA.

Its right next to your intake air box is, or used to be.

There is a box where all the brake lines to go. There is a plastic reservoir on top of the box. There is a grey little rubber/plastic cap that you can just pop off with your fingers.

Then just pour the brake fluid in, i think there are marks telling you when to stop adding fluid.

As long as you're talking about '94-'97... There's a grey rubber cap on the reservoir. Then you pull out a plug that has tiny little vent holes. Now you can pour some brake fluid in.

Next to the reservoir there's a bleeder screw. Get a hose that fits kinda tight, stick it in a bottle. Open the bleeder carefully, only a little bit. A couple ounces of fluid comes out, maybe with air bubbles. If you open too fast, too much, it'll blow off the hose; then there's enough pressure to cut into your skin if your fingers get in the way...

Start the engine, now the ABS motor runs longer to pump up the accumulator. Refill the reservoir, bleed, run, refill, repeat.... Until there's no more air bubbles.
