Engine "Puttering" Noise. Help!

I've got a 2003 Civic LX (automatic) with almost 14,000 KM on it. I started noticing the engine making a "puttering" noise when accelerating from a stop. At higher speeds/rpm it doesn't make the noise. It's most noticible when in gear (Drive or Reverse) but not so noticible in Neutral.

I took it in to Honda and the guy said he doesnt hear anything out of the ordinary. Still, I *know* the car didn't use to make this noise. Sometimes it's more noticable than other times.

A friend said it might be the spark plugs... They're due to be changed at 16,000 KM.

Anyone have any insight or experienced anything similar?

It's probably just the injectors working...Our engines are a little noisy...
