Most likely it's your wheel bearing. U can probably hear it most at low speeds and turning. There's a honda bulletin on it.

I just had to do my a couple weeks ago.

does it only happen at certain speeds? i.e only gets loud after 20mph? Wheel bearing.

other than that, make sure your lug nuts are tight. I wouldnt be suprised if your wheel is trying to divorce itself from your car.

if you feel the need to confirm wheel bearing noise you can. jack up the rear of the car. support it on jack stands. either go to sears and buy a mechanic stethoscope or use long screw drivers as a stethoscope. have buddy spin your rear wheels to the speed of the noise. using stethoscope compare any internal bearing noises from right to left. if one seems to be louder thats the bearing that bad. (note touch stethoscope to non moving components.) (also the closer you get stethoscope to component causing noise the louder it will get. so check everything for noises including rear end and axles)

good luck man

the whole knuckle assembly has to be removed and the bearing has to be pressed out.
knuckle is not the hardest thing to disassemble but you need hydraulic press.
