This is the easiest way to pin point an engine noise:

Put one end of a large screwdriver up to your ear, and the other end on the area where the noise is coming from. The ticking with vibrate thru the screwdriver and into your ear so you'll be able to tell where the tick is coming from.

My guess? Fuel injector.
