Did you drop your alarm clock in the bilge?
Probably lifter noise start pulling valve covers and checking for problems. Hope its not a cam lobe.

Ticking is usually a loose rocker arm , bent pushrod , collapsed lifter , or even a rocker stud pulling out of the head , or worst , a worn cam lobe. Here's another one , if it goes away as you increase the speed to maybe1500/1800 rpm it could be a broken return spring in your fuel pump. what happens at an idle ,with low fual pressure the push rod is slapping back and forth...above an idea as fuel pressure increases the arm of the pump is forced back (like the spring should do ) and holds the pushrod tight
