Default 2012 Honda Accord engine noise

Could anyone take a look at my video starting around 2:44 and tell me if my engine's noise is a little off? My friends keep telling me that my car should be sounding like that.

It has a little whirring noise when accelerating and you can hear it louder when I turn the wheels. Sometimes it gets real loud, sometimes not. I will try and get another video next time when it is loud since this one is a little quiet.


Thank you in advance my friends!

Agree. That's the power steering pump.

Check the power steering fluid level, I'm positive your rack is leaking.

Just to give you guys an update.

Brought it to the honda dealer. They said it was the power steering pump and that it was leaking. I was low on power steering fluid. They will order the part and will install it on Tuesday.

Thank you for the help guys!
