IF it's a random pattern ticking noise, that is just normal for any liquid cooled engine. If the ticking is rhythmic, with a definite cadence/timing to it, then it may be a solenoid or valve sticking. Can you pinpoint where the noise is coming from (under hood, back of car, interior, etc...)?

it seems as the sound is coming from the middle or front of the car. some people said it was common but i dont know.
