Mine was doing the same thing. Ticking seemed to come from up top, and would increase with RPM. No power loss, no miss, no error codes. Turned out to be a lifter. Car is now receiving a LQ9/L92.

the car has never been overrevved and has about 70K on it now, it was a 99 and she bought it with around 55K on it last year so it sat around for a while.....
New plugs, wires, filter, all around tune up, it really sounds like an exhaust leak to me but maybe when i see her next well get a video for you guys to hear

Could be Valve train, exhaust leak, lifter, a plug that isnt in all the way. There's a ton of different things it could be. Just have to start looking and start eliminating. I have a tick and i took the easy way out after i couldn't pin point what it was... brought it to a lsx builder and it turns out to be your normal noisy ls1. Mine had 16,000 on it too.

You would have to pull the valve cover off to take a look inside. I wouldn't do that until you check your exhaust for leaks, maybe check your plugs to see if ones loose. If you cant find anything i would take a video and head over to the internal section where someone more knowledgeable will be able to help you.
