Does the sound appear to be louder when you are steering? Also, does it seem to happen more often if you are running the heat or air conditioning? If so, there's a good possibility it's the power steering pump. I had this on my 2005 Odyssey, and it's a known issue on 2005-2006 models. I was lucky enough to get this replaced under warranty. It made the whole drive SO much quieter and nice.
yes
Likely your transmission is dying. Google "odyssey transmission" and you will find lots of reports about problems with 2000- 2004 Odyssey transmissions. If you are persistent enough, Honda might help some with the repair.
Not likely but it will wear the tires out.
Can your pully holding alternater belt and ect. coming loose and belts coming off cause my Honda to jump timing ?
A 2000 Honday Odyssey is an interference engine. This means that that if the piston and the valves are not in proper timing (for example when the timing belt breaks) there is a possibility that the pistons will hit the valves and cause damage because they have the potential to occupy the same space at the same time (i.e. INTERFER with each other). On these types of engines since engine damage is very likely in the event of timing belt failure, it is HIGHLY recommended that they be changed at the recommended interval.

It indicates transmissions problems. Had this happen at 103,000 km on our 2002 Honday Odyssey and had to replace the entire transmission.
Bad ignition coil? Bad fuel pump?
Brakes
The timing may be off. If the timing belt is old then the gears can slip and cause backfiring, or the engine to not run at all.
Fuel filter?Air filter?Timing belt?
You first have to have it checked for codes. You then repair the cause of the code. Finally you clear the code witha scan tool.
