08 Civic EX Coupe Automatic, 50K, Certified Used Car from Honda dealer.

I have had this vehicle about 2 months and have noticed two noises that are aggravating and alarming. The aggravating noise sounds as if it is a lifter clicking....I hear it when I am at idle. It sounds like a light tapping and sometimes goes away. I can't hear it while moving.

The second noise...the alarming one....sounds almost as if it is a rod bearing or piston pin. On light and constant acceleration under a light load I can hear the noise. Could this be some emission or exhaust noise?

Anyway I am getting it back to the dealer next week and I wanted to get some opinions from you guys and guyettes. Thanks in advance.

Note: I'm driving my pickup until I find out what's up with the noise.

 

ticking noise at idle is the injectors...dont know about the second noise.

 

Thanks for the reply pd....I'm going to drive it with the mechanic at the dealership and replicate the noise.

 

My girls ex makes that noise I believe. Its just the motor running. The r18 is a loud motor for what it is
