Well... since no one has explained it yet...
ITLNstallion818- the sound you are hearing is your VTEC (Variable Timing, Electronic Controlled) kicking in. This is a good thing- it basically gives you two different timings, one for low end power and one for high end power. It's a trick that Honda, and other manufacturers (under different names) have used for a while. Do a search on it if you want to know how it works.
And please, tell me you didn't spend US$17,000 for a car with 130k miles on it! You got ripped off, if you did.
