Default Strange Problem

Okay, now i'm having a wierd problem with my other integra. the 1998 rs.
i hate diagnostic explanations where all you are given is the sound, but thats all i can explain it as...

almost (but not every) time i shift i get a strange vibrating sound. If you have a cold air intake, the sound is almost exactly like the air sucking into the intake mixed with the squeal of a fanbelt mixed in. anyways, this really annoying sound seems to be coming from the rear passenger side.

anyone have any idea what it could be?

All I can say is I would have to look at the car to see what the noise is. I work at a shop, so I would be the one to look at it if you bring it my work.

what kind of intake do you have i had a aem v2 and when you accelerate and let off it squealed quite a bit could just be the intake making you think theres a noise coming from the back

naw. i've had the intake on there for a while and i know the whistle it makes.
this is def coming from the rear. the car doesn't have much of the interior installed as I am doing some work on the alarm, so you can hear where the noise is coming from pretty easily.
