No problem with ticking. I do hear a slight whistling from the engine at 50mph.

I hope that ticking noise is not pinging noise due to a bad tank of gas because you heard it under acceleration.

There was talk of sound from the fuel sloshing around which was said to be fixed by additional baffles inside but I never hear of a ticking noise.
