C63 Ticking

I’d like to start off with that I’m new to V8s.

I have a 2010 C63 AMG with 106,050K miles, and it’s making a constant ticking noise at idle, the ticking doesn’t increase in noise or speed when I step on the gas (in park), and it isn’t at all audible unless I open the hood.

+1. Normal. Fuel injectors pulsing - although the sound does increase in frequency (speed) when you rev the engine.
