2018 5.0 engine noise. Normal?
2018 5.0 w/ 13k miles. Bought brand new in 12/2017. The passenger side bank has what I believe is a very noticeable knocking noise at idle. It doesn't seem to get louder when RPM's increase like a typical knock would. I can hear it in the cab at idle even over my loud MBRP exhaust. I recall there being a slight tick for the first few thousand miles, but I feel like it's gotten slowly worse to the point it is now. I've read about these trucks having a "tick" and that it is normal, but I'm not sure if this is the normal tick everyone speaks of. I couldn't really find much from a thread search, so I apologize if this has already been covered.
I don't have any other friends or family w/ 5.0's to compare to and this is my first F-150. I feel like this isn't normal, but I'll let the masses chime in.

When did you change your oil, and what kind of oil, and filter did you use?

you need to take it in and have that looked at, the high pressure of direct injection makes noticeable noise. But this sounds like a knock of some kind.
does it seem to be more loud after a cold soak? Or does it make the same noise no matter what? Also on another note, have you noticed any rattling when you let off the gas first thing in the morning?
And make sure you have enough oil in there.
