Default Hello! from Kalamazoo MI

Hi People! I have just brought home my first Honda. I have very little knowledge about anything honda, as I have grown up with a 5.0 Mustang. 2016 Honda Accord Sport with a 2.4L Earth Dreams engine. It looks like this thing is already tweeked out for fuel economy. I cannot imagine doing any mods to this.

Things I love about it:

The torque curve is pretty strong for such a little engine
It pulls like a little turbo, with a really strong mid range
The handling is phenomenal

Things I question:

The engine sounds like it has a lot of valve lash
There is a slight "whistle" accelerating and decelerating around 0-10mph

I really like this car, it feels really tight and if anyone wants to toss me some info that might be news to me, I would appreciate it
