Default Noise on my Engine

Noise on my honda 4 door. My step-father thinks it sounds like a bearing but he doesn't know much on foreign cars. Was wondering if someone could help me out.

A spun bearing/rod knocking sounds the same on all piston engines. If you are talking about a tapping it very well may be the valves, that's a commong Honda thing. Describe what you're talking about a little bit more thouroughly.

However...

Does the noise sound deep, or shallow in the motor? Is it a light tapping sound in the head, or is it a deep knocking sound in the block?
+1

is the sound high or low

growning noise ?

metal tapping ?

loose marbles sounds like valvetrain or oil pump
