Default Weird sprinkler noise

New to the forum. Hello all. Been searching the internet for a few weeks with no prevail so I'm starting a new thread for my issue. Picked up the car about two months ago and it had no issues until one day I started hearing this sound.

Things ive already done
-changed the oil and oil filter
-Replace the TCT
-new gaskets and oil pressure sensor on vtec solenoid
-new valve cover gasket

It doesn't leak any fluids

Hopefully you guys can help
Thanks!

have you performed a valve adjustment? That noise could be valve lash

It doesn't sound like valves it's more of a hissing/sprinkler noise. Since I posted I replaced fuel injector seals and gaskets from exhaust manifold to the cat. Still making the damn noise. I wanna get this thing fixed and start modding it already

It seems to not always be there...does it stop making it under acceleration or deceleration? Does it do it at a stand still? I'm thinking it could be clutch components related

It doesn't do it at idle. Only under acceleration. I start to hear it around 4-5k rpms. Feels like some loss of power and when vtec comes in it bogs down

What intake do you have? It's probably the answer.
