Default "clicking" noise went @ idle

Is this normal for the FG2 for the car to have a "clicking/ticking" noise when @ idle. It was very apparent tonight and hasn't been ever since I have gotten the car. I have 5k miles on the car, and installed an injen CAI about a month ago. I checked all the hoses --> there is no vaccum leak, all the hose clamps are fastened (and I used new ones, not the OEM ones) and I let the car idle for 15 min. before driving?

What could be causing the noise in the car????

Have you checked your oil level?

Everyone's honda will do it. My car didn't start doing it until about 300 or so miles into it. At least I didn't notice it before then.

it can't be the oil.. i just got an oil change not to long ago and my oil life is 80%. I checked the oil level --> right below the 2nd dot.

I just listened to the car this morning again and it's more of a rattling noise?? Any ideas now....

AC is off. I know when you turn the AC on you hear a clicking noise. It's more of a rattle now.

the new honda's all use a timing chain now, not a belt. the chain is known for making some clicking and ticking sounds.
