Default engine ticking 4.6

Today, while sitting at a toll booth, i noticed a ticking(light tapping noise) coming from my engine. It seems to be coming from the right side of the engine compartment. I can only hear it at idle. It doesn't seem to get louder or speed up with the rpms. is this worth having checked out? or should i let it ride?

I just had a pretty aggressive sounding catback exhaust system installed. Could it just be the magnifying the noises under the hood? I know that the truck sounded smooth at idle before the exhaust. I always listen for ticks when I change my oil. What do you think. its a 4.6 with 36k by the way.

From what I've heard this is normal. As long as oil pressure is good, I wouldn't worry about it
