Hey guys..I know you hear these all the time so i will keep this as much to the point as possible. just got back to my car a few weeks ago- the day after i get home i notice a sound almost like your rolling your tongue (clicking noise) when the car was under load- goes away around 4k when the rest of the engine noise drowns it out. here is what i have had done so far to get rid of the noise..

synthetic oil change
valve adjustment (only one valve was out of spec)
new stock plugs

noise is still there. barely audible at idle- the noise is their only there during throttle. example- i can be applying gas and be around 3k- if i let off the gas (like going to brake) the noise goes away, but soon as i apply throttle its right back. I thought it was the timing chain tensioner- but from what i have searched apparantly that is more of a clattering noise and only when the car is at idle.

any help would be much appreciated!

p.s. video will be up soon

Maybe try using a Mechanic's stethoscope to isolate the noise. With the valve lash just recently done maybe the nut on the adjusting screw backed off. Hard to say without hearing anything.

the noise was their before getting valves adjusted

Have you been able to find the general area of the noise?

the noise is coming from the valvetrain area....

I wonder if it is some sort of bearing going out. Have you taken to car in to have it looked at?

yea took it to a honda dealership and they said it was fine... when i had my valves adjusted the guys said as far as he could see wverything looked fine...were unpacking today so as soon as i get my usb cable ill post the video... to be honest though i still 9 times out of 10 have the quitest car in traffic. i am thinking it might just be a drivetrain noise i never have noticed. video will be up tonight!
