If it is the p/s pump, full or low will make the same noise. see if the sound changes as you make a left or right turn. If you can get a mechanic's stethescope ( sp ) and listen to the pump.

What kind mileage is on it? Does it make any noise when at idle? If its making the noise only when moving it may be a front wheel bearing.

power steering will work just fine even though the pump is noisy. turn ur steering wheel left and right and see if the noise changes. if it does id say try flushing the fluid but sucking old fluid out and replacing with new honda ps fluid. if that doesnt work replace the pump
