I let the engine warm for a minute, and then drive it easy for a mile or two before throttling hard. I listen to the engine to know when it's warm. The valvetrain makes more noise when it's cold; it kind of "rattles". When it gets warm the rattle goes away. All my Hondas have sounded similarly, so I presume it's normal.
