Ours has the ticking, after warming up it less noisy. Took it to a mechanic and he indicated it was exhaust manifold leaking and the 2004 was notorious for that and always the same side (passenger). If this is it just ignore it!
That's what I was going to say. Mine did it on my old 2004.
I think I had mine fixed if I recall correctly. I believe they were able to grind it down smooth so it would seal again.
My bet for the OP's question is leaking manifold.
