I just bought a used 2005 Accord EX 4 cyl from a private seller, and had a mechanic check it out prior to purchase. Everything's in great shape, nothing to worry about beyond replacing two tires and changing the spark plugs.
I noticed the past few days that the engine sounds more like a tractor on acceleration...sorry, that's the only way I know to describe it! I'm going to change the spark plugs soon, and I'm wondering if what I'm hearing is in fact the cylinders just making a little more noise with the older plugs.
My wife has a 2004 Accord EX 4 cyl, and although you can hear a similar sound, it's nowhere near as loud. The spark plugs are due for a change on hers too.
Here's a link to a recording I made...http://snd.sc/16TZaZI.
Not sure how much help this really is.
I sat my phone at the bottom of the windshield with the hood open to record it, and gave it some acceleration in Neutral. I tried recording while driving around, but you can't really hear anything.
