Engine chatter (audio included)

Hello,

so I've had this 2007 Honda Fit Sport since November and it runs fine. I've done one oil change on it. I did slightly overfill it on the last oil change. I drained most of the overfill but it's about one millimetre about the top hole of the dipstick so I left it as is.

The car runs well and the noise isn't really noticeable from the cabin. The only time anything gets rough is when I get to 70 mph, then I get some vibration which is transfered to my steering wheel.

Is it time for a valve adjustment? Is there a problem with my engine worth addressing? Thanks for the input!

I don't think your engine sound and the vibration through the wheel have anything to do with each other. The engine sounds fine to me in fact. Perhaps an out of balance front tire or a bad front tire.
