After replacing the water pump, tensioner, and the alternator the noise issue has been solved. Thanks Honda. problem started with oil light going on. The car felt like it was going to stall at idle and was runing very rough. Have repetitively been told by my dealership that it is normal to have no measurable oil left if I dont get my oil changed at least every 3000 miles, which is insulting to my intelligence. Total repair cost >$2500. Just received a recall for "The piston rings may be sticking resulting in high oil consumption", im assuming this problem does not apply to every accord because mine does not consume oil abnormally. They had my car almost 2 weeks, broke the timing chain while repairing the car then forgot fill the car back up with oil!
