2007 FN2 Civic Type R - I've noticed recently a strange noise which only happens when the accelerator is pressed. If you lift off at all it stops immediately. Seems to occur throughout rev range but most prominent around 2k-4k rpm, though it may be that the engine and exhaust noise is drowning it out.
It's difficult to describe the noise. It's not really a rattle as such; if you can think of crickets chirping at night it's not vastly different to that! It definitely seems to be coming from the bulkhead/engine area.
Anyone heard this before? Could it be tappets or would they be noisy all the time regardless of on or off the throttle?
