Default When to do valve adjustment??

How do you tell if your engine needs a valve adjustment... is there a certain noise I should be listening for or what? I got a b18c wit 109k miles and then a b18b wit 95k miles. Reason I ask some guy was looking at my car during a meet and he listened to the idle and said I need a valve adjustment. Any help?
