I hope I'm just being paranoid, but today while I was jumping off my work car; I noticed a ticking noise that sounded like lifter tick to me. It doesn't sound like the dread tick, which sounds like someone clicking a BBQ igniter over and over. This sounds just like lifter tick to me.
Granted it is 45 degrees outside now and its been below freezing for days and I don't DD this car anymore, I drive it like maybe less than 10 times a month. So I recorded it when it was cold and then recorded it after several minutes of warm up.
Here is the Idle when cold:

Here is the Idle when warm:

Is this normal or a potential issue? Or is this a common issue with DOHC engines?
