Weird Sound Civic IX 1.8 iVtec

Hello everyone.
I own a 9th gen Civic sedan 1.8 and so far it's been an awesome car.
The only "problem" if i can call it like that happens usually when i start the car a couple of hours after a previous start.
The scenario would be like that:
I start my car in the morning, no problem, no weird stuff just ordinary around 1300 rpm till it eventually starts getting warmer and it drops. Totally normal.
I come home and then, if i want to use the car again let's say after a couple of hours when the engine it's still kind of warm from the previous run, i would get a loud weird noise which from my noob pov isn't really coming from the engine, but from under the car or exhaust(but then again, i might be wrong). Let's say i start the car, it sits around 1200rpm, then i get this noise for around 5 seconds and then The rpm starts dropping to around 1k rpm. It's like when the sound occurs, something makes the engine get warmer faster.
If i don't start the car for around 4-6 hours after the previous run, it will start totally normal with no weird sound whatsoever.
Sorry for any gramatical mistakes.
Thank you very much!

An audio/video clip would be very helpful.

Sorry for the late response.
I've tried to post it 2 days ago but I received a message to wait for approbation and nothing changed since then.

Unfortunately, the sound is no way as loud as it is in real life, but i hope you can hear it.
After i start the engine, the sound appears, then the rpm starts dropping and everything sounds normal.

I didn’t hear any audio but it could be because I’m on a Phone.


What kinda sound? Squeal? Thud? Scrapping? Whining? Does it change with the sound of the engine? Get louder with the engine RPM’s?

Re: Weird Sound Civic IX 1.8 iVtec

The sound is definetly not squeaky or whining, it's close to the sound of high rpms.
It appears only if i start the car a couple of hours later after i used it and the sound somehow makes the rpms get lower.
It's like that : start the engine, goes to 1.3k rpms because its still cold, then comes this loud noise for around 5 seconds followed by the rpm getting lower to about 1 to 1.1k rpms, and then everyhing is fine.
If i drive the car, let it sit for half an hour i dont get any noise as the engine is still pretty warm. If i let the car sit for around 5 hours, the engine is completely cold and dont get any noise.
The engine sounds normal and it doesn't affect how it drives.

Re: Weird Sound Civic IX 1.8 iVtec

have you looked under the hood while it is making a noise?
I had a zip-tie get into the way of the rad fan in the past.

Sorry for the link, i hope this one works

I didn't check under the hood yet but i went outside the car and i didnt hear any weird sound , i'll try with it open as well.
I asked some guys on YouTube about that and one of them replied that he had a noise coming from the air filter which was kind of loose and had to put some rubber to stop it vibrating. Do you think it could come from here?

Re: Weird Sound Civic IX 1.8 iVtec

could be anything, you will need to at least get under the hood. Like i said, i had a zip tie get in the way of a fan.
If you lock your mind in the air filter, you might not notice that there is a rat inside the air filter box

you will need to look it by yourself, we can't see it
