Dont know if its normal or not, but at times in 2 vetc and in 3rd vtec every once inawhile it sounds like the sounds made when you ride your bike with a playing card getting rapped by the tire spokes. This happens rarely, but is it anything to have checked out?

Hmm... Doesn't sound right to me, Kyushin. Can I assume you've checked your oil level?

I'm not sure what would cause a sound like that. Maybe something's a little loose under the hood. Check your airbox first and make sure it's latched on correctly.

Yes, I always keep a close eye on my oil level. But as for something being loose, i guess maybe i should bring it to honda attention at my next serviece. Its just kinda intermittent sometimes it makes the noise and sometimes no

Hi:
Not sure if this is mis-applied or not, but I had some buzzing on the Civic that turned out to be a loose heat shield. Dealer charged me $17 to fix it. (:
other thoughts, the elastic strap on the cover, but that is fairly easy to tell where the noise is coming from. Also make sure you don't have loose change lying around the cabin.
