My engine has no ticking at all when I first fire it up cold. It develops little ticks from several places as it warms up. I attribute this to the oil (Honda GN4 10W-30) getting thinner with the heat. It's done this since brand new. All the noises are quite subtle, though.
Based on my experience, I generally concur.
