So after taking the car to about 8,000rpm 2 times last night I started to hear a somewhat loud ticking high pitch noise.

Its noticable with the hood down and the car at idle, so, a little loud.

Its got me really worried and I don't want to drive it till I can figure it out.

There also seems to be a droning noise comming from the intake, not very loud and possible something normal that I just never noticed before.

HELP!!!!

Let me know if you need more info.

 

Check the oil first.

 

its about half way between high and low.
might have been where it was filled too, not sure.(just got it changed and wish I would have checked)

The car has 16,000 miles on it and just got the oil changed about 150 miles ago, I had it done at a Honda dealer, but now that makes we wonder what they might have done.

It also had the 15,000 mile service done at around 13,500 miles.

and its a 2001.
