I've been hearing this strange sound when my car is in idle for a couple of minutes.

It is a faint rattling or ticking sound coming from the front of the car. You can only hear it from the inside. I opened the door to listen to the engine, but couldn't hear it, but as soon as I shut the door, the sound was obvious -- kinda makes the engine sound cheaply made.

I was wondering if anyone noticed the same thing and if this was normal.

 

i notice a very wek ticking sound in closed space, i think it's normal, i usd to think my first Honda 4 cyclinder noise til i drive other brand's 4 cyclinder... hehehehe, and then i realize Honda makes the best 4 cyclinder engine!!! i think the ticking is normal.. but i would like to hear that from the car experts here(i am not expert )
