Yep, it's the "tappita" sound. Initial thought, before I considered that it
is probably overhead cam, was that it was lifters not getting oil right
away. At any rate, it sounds like something is not getting oil right away,
as the sound fades out in about 1 - 3 seconds.
I think that the dealer adjusted the valves not too many thouand miles ago.
At any rate, they don't say there's anything wrong with the car.

If it's a lighter "tappita tappita" sound, you may need a valve
adjustment. Most Hondas have solid lifters. The valve adjustment spec
was originally every 15,000 miles, but that was amended to only when
noisy some time in the '90s.
