valve noise

I have a 2002 LX 5-speed and I'm just wondering how much valve noise is common. If I have the radio off I can hear the valves when I put a load on the engine. Well, something in the valve train anyway. Its not really load, but louder than I expected. Is is because of the 5W-20 oil?? I know Hondas are a little ticky, especially the D series, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this...

I really only hear mine at idle. I'm pretty sure when I was running 5w30 it was a bit quieter too.

I got that, but it sounds like it is coming from my fuel injection
