Icon5 1992 Accord - Distributor Making Noise

See video here:

Has anyone heard this noise? Noise happens when first idling and driving car - after about 3 minutes of driving, noise stops. Not getting any engine codes at all.

Are one of the rotors going bad or is it something else? I'm replacing my spark plugs and wires once it gets warmer out.

It is the bearing inside the distributor. You need to replace the distributor housing.

Thanks. Can I drive it like this without causing damage for a week or so? or is this something I need to replace ASAP? Probably won't get to me from ebay for a week.

It'll probably be fine for a week. Keep in mind you will need to reset the base ignition timing when you swap out that distributor.
