Without hearing it i'd be only guessing ,as would everybody else on here . Were is the ticking coming from , engine ? where ? Top of the engine or bottom end of the engine . How many miles on it ? The ticking could be coming from the lifters . Do you know what they are ? It would be to your benifit to have a trained ear listen to it .
I have to answer that question with a question, do you have any enemies? Other than that your ticking wasn't clarified, where sound is coming from, is it coming from underneath after you've driving it = catalytic converter burning off deposits or tin shroud cover on exhaust same are cooling off. A steady ticking from engine when it is running may indicate a failing rocker arm or hydraulic lifter, 1/2 a quart of tranny fluid added to engine oil usually quiets hydraulic lifter problems. If engine is missing the ticking can be the sound of spark jumping from sparkplug wires to metal, open the hood at night and with engine running look for sparks, if v6, you may need a mechanics mirror to see over back side of engine to watch for sparks jumping. There are also other possibilities depending on where sound is coming from such as a rock in brakes, or snow studs in tires clicking on pavement. There could be a cricket inside your van, this sound would subside in a few hours in hot sun with windows rolled up. Someone who drives van maybe lost their alarms clock in the seats, the one they take to work each day to sleep on the job, I've seen that happen before. I hope all this info will assist you in how to find your ticking sound

One of my vehicles started making a rather disturbing sound so I went to investigate and to hopefully fix it.
could possibly be a lifter tapping (Ticking) ,depending on how many miles the vehicle has on it might be time for lifters to be adjusted,most foreign overhead cam engines must have lifters adjuster periodically ,if you turn on the air its puts more of a load on the engine causing a louder sound (also check oil level an engine low on oil will start to tick too.. the more wear the engine gets the looser the lifters can get over time ,look in your service manual if you have one and see what the intervals are on lifter adjustment this can give you an idea.
possible only if
the ticking sound is coming from the top of the engine usually comes from under the vavle covers where the lifters are located,
The sound you hear is the metal parts of your exhaust system and catalytic converter cooling down.Some cars are louder than others but the sound is perfectly normal.
does it go tick tick tick tick and when it warms up it stops or goes quiet? its your lifters not getting enough oil when u change your oil it will stop till that oil gets worn out you will have to replace the lifters or it can also be a slack oil pump not pumping oil around the engine like it should
