Weird noise.

Recently, I've been hearing a honking? noise from the right rear tail light area after I take off from a stop or after I take my foot of the brake, I can make it stop by speeding up rapidly but it still comes back when I slow down. I've removed my subs, unhooked the rear speakers, had the lights off, and unhooked my rear flood light but it still keeps happening. I'll try to get a sound clip soon cause I can't really explain it without sound. Its starting to drive me mad too cause I can hear it over the radio and through the rear seats.

Drift shaft joint going bad? Mine made weird noises at certain speeds when it was failing.
Wheel bearing going bad? Although, mine only made noise when making a corner.
Suspension squatting/rubbing and causing the noise?

Honking? Like a car horn? does it do it just once or many times while slowing down? My vote is for the suspension, maybe the spring rubbing on the mount, the mount itself or possibly a bushing. What about the fuel seperator behind the interior paneling? Could a leak in one of those lines cause a noise at high vacuum? IDK just thinking out loud.

Well now theres two different pitches, they never happen at the same time though. They are like quiet car horns, well the lower one is while the higher one is more like a boat related horn. I think I have a sound clip now too, I put my camera in the trunk and drove around for eight minutes and only heard it a few time and I chose some of the roughest roads too. I would have a link for the video but my computer won't reconize my camera for some reason. I do know its not the fuel pump cause that makes a very quiet whistling. Its definatly a head scratcher.

Any luck on getting the videos onto your computer or having someone ride in the back of the car to listen for the noise.
