Nope. Wasn't braking in the vid.
maybe something in the tranny ?
clutch plate ? throw-out bearing ? flywheel ?
I replaced my stock clutch ~15,000 miles ago with an ACT HDSS. Stock flywheel (resurfaced?).
can you localize the sound with a long screw driver? - use the screw driver like a stethoscope ... hold one end to an area on the engine and then put your ear on the end of the handle ... you would be surprised how well this works .. just be very carful where you place the screw driver before you put the handle end up to your ear ...
What about the PS pump ? ...
When the bearings in the pump start to go bad - they can make a whirling sound ....
just a thought ...
real hard to diagnose a noise via hostboard ...
I know you said the car make the same noise standing still ... but you might want to visit this link - they discuss the different noises that axles will make - might be of some interest.

Great suggestions Icopas. I checked around with a screwdriver today. Here's what I found.
Collector are of header - some noise, no wobbling (maybe due to exhaust gases)
Header-cat connection - some noise. . . minimal. can hear a little wobbling, but sounds far off.
oil pan - no noise
tranny - no noise
Well, this morning I replaced the donut gasket between the header and the cat. I'll drive it around later and see if it made any difference.
I found a separate rattling sound that I've been looking for. It's either coming from the resonator or the muffler. Maybe it's related to the wobbling noise? Will get both of these checked out when I bring it to the muffler shop on Tuesday.
Finally, I took some pictures of my axle today. I don't exactly know what the part is called, but there is a black rubber boot. There seems to be some sort of leakage coming from them. I don't know if this is normal or not. There are grey splatter marks where I believe the grease/oil from inside the boot came out.
I have a friend that will host my vids and pictures. When he gets those up, I will post the link. I'm glad I'm finally making some progress! Whew!

1 picture of something that it "might" be?
Question for you...does your tach move around also with the noise??...how about the boost/vacuum guage...does that move at all??
PS....damn you friends site is slow...it took me ten minutes to download those vids of a T1 links [img]frown.gif[/img]
CivicR, no my tach does not move around. There is no reaction from either my A/F gauge or my vacuum/boost gauge.
Sounds like you have a bad bearing on an accessory being driven by the engine.
OR ... do you have the drive belt for the SC excessivly tight ?
Do you have any of the belts too tight ?
Sounds like a bearing on either the SC or the alternator too tight or bad.
If I remember correctly - I had the belt on my SC too tight and it made a noise too.
BTW - get that axle checked too ! ... you may have more than one thing making a noise ...
