Question Normal engine noise at idle for my 2012 lx-s coupe?

Hi I only have 800 miles on it and am just trying to make sure everything is good, I imagine its supposed to sound like this but I took a video at idle just in case!

I was worried about the same thing when I bought my 2008 Accord. The dealer told me that it was the fuel injectors, and that it was normal.
