Default Pinging Noises

I just bought a Honda Accord EX Wagon, 1995.

I noticed that after I drive it, there is a strange 'pinging' noise coming from the bottom of the car. Sort of like metal bearing balls being dropped on tin. Someone suggested it's a rotor problem. Someone else said not to worry. Anyone know what might be going on?

Thanks.

Could be as minor as the heat shield rattling around becuase it is rusting out. Be to just get a look underneath and see yourself what is going on.

Your running the incorrect grade of fuel. Use a higher grade and see if the noise goes away.
