I hadn't driven my 2002 RSX for about 2 months. When I first started
driving it, I heard a metallic rattling noise that's similar to an
exhaust rattle. It seemed to get louder the more I pushed on the gas.

As I started driving the car daily the noise got quieter and quieter
over the next few days until it was almost un-hearable within a week.

Is that normal for this car if not used for a while? Or should I have
a dealer check it out (still under warranty)?

I wonder if some bearing (or a camshaft)went dry(lubrication) while sitting
so long?
