Fresh oil change by any chance? I will get a faint tapping until my fresh oil “breaks in” for lack of a better term, usually only on cold start. Others have said it’s the ac clutch tapping. Real bad and consistent is typically hydraulic lifter failure.

Have about 2,000 mi on my most recent oil change. Now that you mention it the AC may have been on. I'll check it later tonight to see if that stops the ticking
