The ticking is the injectors. You don't want to stop that 
. The rattle could be the heatshield recall not done or the exhaust hitting the body. Have it checked out for that.

I also remember reading that there is an auxiliary air pump that runs when the engine is first started to help bring the cat up to temperature. That could be part of the ticking you hear.
