**update** noise has returned slowly came back and is back to the way it was. im going to accept the fact this is normal until honda comes out with a TBS or recall.
I know this has been a topic many times but I thought I would share my experience. I, like may others have the annoying metallic noise from the front of my engine when I remote start it and when it's cold(I tried to post a video of my car but it's EXACTLY the same as everyone else's). I picked up my vehicle after been at the dealer for over a month BUT my car is now fixed! What was it you ask?? Well...the dealer tried a whole lot of items...they didn't give up like most dealers do. They found that my timing chain had stretched. Weird right. I didn't actually believe them when they first told me UNTIL they showed me a photo of my crankshaft chain sprocket that had a crack in it (I seem to have lost the photo but will post it once I get it again). The cracked sprocket caused a slight stretch in the chain that was causing the noise. I spoke with the tech that repaired my car and his theory is that the sprockets are manufacturered too thin/poorly. Needless to say this was pretty shitty to find out but my car is now quiet I hope that this may help some of you and I will post more info when I get it from the dealer (repair order copy and pictures)
