I became aware of a 'Ticking" noise which sounded like an old fashion poorly lubricated speedometer or tachometer cable. When I reported the problem to my non-Honda service center the head mechanic advised that the issue was AV/HVAC related and that is had to do with the actuator motors not working correctly. When I turned the car into Honda for the air bag replacement recall I asked that the problem be corrected.

I just got the car back from service. It appears after replacing three of the motors that the issue has been resolved.
