It's possible that the ticking noise is coming from a problem with your engine's valves. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic to have it checked and potentially replaced.

M

Another possibility is that the noise is coming from worn out engine bearings. This can be a serious issue and should be addressed immediately.

E

Have you recently changed your oil? If you haven't changed it in a while, the oil could be dirty and causing the ticking noise. Try changing the oil and see if the noise goes away.

B

It's also possible that the ticking noise is coming from a loose or worn out belt in your engine. I recommend having your mechanic check all the belts and replacing them if necessary.
