clanking noise

Ok, I wanna try this again. When I back out of my driveway I get this clanking noise from my right rear wheel when my FRONT right wheels hits the street from the driveway. It also happens sometimes on speed bumps. (I go slow)Could this be my exhaust...? Not hitting the street, but maybe that lower arm that goes to my wheel??? (I'm not very technical (yet)). I have a 2k1 auto sedan on Neuspeed sports (1.5R, 1.75F)

Might as well mention this again too... When I'm driving and I press the gas pedal from 2000-3000 rpm I hear a very QUIET whining noise. Best way to describe it is it sounds like a bird chirping. You can't hear it if the air is on high or the radio. But it's only from 2000-3000 rpm. Any insights on either of these? Thanks.

It's like 1 or 2 clanks. I have a stock exhaust and dropped. If I go REALLY REALLY slowly like maybe an inch an hour then it won't clank.

is there something in your trunk moving around? i had someone come into my work saying she hears a rattle over bumps and she had 4 cooking pots in her trunk. as for the whistling, i know alot of times hondas cooling fan motors whistle when the fan comes on. nothing bad just annoying.

ak can only hope to improve
Did you install the springs recently? If so, the clanking noise could come from the springs setting in.
