My recent experience, I just fixed it today.
For some time I've had squeeks and groans from the driveline. Eventually, at speed there was a steady "eek-eek-eek-eek" (with the top up it almost sounded like a belt squealing), as I slowed down the frequency of the occurrence of the noise got slower, and the pitch of the noise got lower. As the car came to a stop, the last foot or so of movement sounded like a door with creaky hinges.
It was the driver's side rear axle nut. I tightened them both and the noise went away.
I never once heard the "clicking" sound when starting off from a stop like everyone describes.

Holy crap!!
Thank you guys so much!!
I've been dealing with this dang noise for a month, took it to 7 different shops, Pretty much all of which shrugged their shoulders and said they had no clue, including a Honda dealership. One told me it was my tranny and tried to get me to do a whole tranny swap! So I took it to a tranny shop and he said it wasnt the tranny, from there... I was told it could be the wheel bearings, the rear dif.. on and on and on. holy crap one shop after another. Read the forum, (i didnt have a 36mm socket or torque wrench) so I took it into a shop and told them exactly what I needed. I figured what the hell.
I drove by a shop, saw they were open and not busy, walked out 10 minutes later car was fixed! They didnt even charge me, they just asked I use them from now on. lol.
Holy crap thank you guys!
(only annoying noise left is the clutch spring vibration, dont quite have the money to fix that yet though
)
