funky noise

[sum_gai]

Got a 95 lx - when I hit a bump at freeway speeds, there's a high-pitched metal ringing sound that starts up, sounds like its coming from the back of the car. It stops as soon as I tap the brakes.

Any ideas what it is?

I have the just run into the same problem recently. I was backing down my friends driveway at night at slipped into the ditch. Something got tore up on my front drivers-side. It is exactly what you describe. It almost sounds like a chain dragging, but it stops when the brakes are applied. My friend thought it might be the brake line but we looked at it and saw no apparent damage. I have taken it to the shop to get their oppinion on it. Let me know what you find out. If I get it fixed I will try and let you know what the problem was.

might have something to do with a loose shoe, or it might be the begining stage of the brakes telling you the pads are running low. Just throwing stuff out there.

Hatrick, you were right on the second part. The shop said the brake pads were worn down. The replaced them and the problem was fixed. I didn't expect it to be just something like that since it started when the side that was making the noise slipped into a drain ditch.
