The squealing noise is from them trying really hard but too weak to move the latches and linkages. Since the door lock opening relay operates all 4 solenoids at one time and doesn't split them up into two sides then the solenoids appear to have gone bad. There's no aftermarket alarm installed is there? It has factory door lock solenoids and not aftermarket add-on solenoids? Solenoids new from Honda are $111 each
