Default "hum" noise when driving forward Prelude 2001

My Prelude 2001 makes a "hum" noise (about 3 seconds) everytime when driving forward (from park). Does anyone has the same problem? Is this normal? Thanks

mine does that too, I notice it everytime when I go foward after backing up and turning the wheel. I have no clue what it is, but i guess it's normal.

My 93 Si does it, but only the first time going forward after startup, it sounds like a fuel pump hum, but I dont think thats it.

the dealership said that it is an abs check or a brake check of some sort. And i have a 2000 base model so i dont think that its related to atts.

Yes it's normal, just your ABS

Ya you are right, I checked with Honda ,because my car was doing the same, and they also said that it was ABS. I have a 92 Si.

hmm, does this only happen when you first move after starting the car? or every time you start from a stop even without starting the car?

It should only do it when you start your car and drive away, not everytime you start moving from a stop. When you slam on the brakes the ABS will kick in and then you will feel/hear the ABS charging up again.
