2011 Honda Accord V6 - rattling noise?

  

0
Topic starter
I have a 2011 Honda Accord V6 (3.5 L) with 110k miles. I have it for 2 years now. I changed its timing belt (also tensioner, drive belt, water pump) about 6 months ago at a dealer. 
 
Recently I noticed some rattling noise (may have existed for a while). I googled it and found some people say that this is due to the tensioner is not working well. 
 
Here is the video that I recorded. I would appreciate your advice.

That sounds more like a purge valve/ purge solenoid then a tensioner. They make a clicking/ tapping noise which people often mistake for a valve tap or other issues


Thank you for your reply. So does it sound normal to you? Do I need to take actions?

I'm not to familiar with Honda purge valve. Some cars it's  normal to make noise others aren't. I cannot say with certainty.  I believe it's located in the driver side right under the intake boot/ throttle body. listen to that area. Get a screw driver and with car running place tip on valve and handle to ear. You should be able to tell if that is it. Ive had 2 Hondas, I had a 2000 crv and a 2009 civic. Both of them sounded very similar to yours. Honda get chatty as they get older. You have to do valve lash adjustments. Which now that I listen again to video it sounds more like that. 


You might have to adjust valves. Not you have too. Sorry typo 5am where I am Haven't slept yet
