Are you talking about the ticking sound made by the downpipe expanding when your car is warming up? Or is a new noise?

Its your SPark Plug wires.

I had the same problem..

At night pop your hood and look in the area
you'll see the electrical arch.

There is I think a COIL right under the UIM.
and if that boot on the wire goes bad or has
a slight crack in it. it will arch to the UIM.
During idle you can hear it because its arching
so slow. While you are driving and etc
its going so fast, you don't notice it.

Easy way to check is look at the Engine bay*area*
at night

hope this helps
