Default Ecoboost startup noise and engine tick

For awhile now I've had this squeal on a cold start which I think is the timing chain thing but last night on the way home from the deer lease I stopped to eat and I had a bad tick coming from the passenger side of the motor.. No clue what it's from. Started it up this morning and couldn't hear it but as the engine warmed up it got louder.. Anyone know what it could be?
Thanks (ps I have a video of the noises but don't know how to post them) lol

Mine does it too. It may be from the injectors. Nothing to worry about.

It's not the normal injector tick though and it started 1/2 home from the lease. That's what has me worried bc it's never done it before

Just something I just went through...at 50k, I finally replaced my spark plugs. Prior to changing them, I had a loud compression type "tick" (like an exhaust leak). When I pulled the passenger's side plugs, one of them was cracked so bad, a piece of ceramic fell off. With the new plugs installed, everything is quiet and running normal again. Just a thought...

Eh.. this is like a sharp tick/knock. Its hard to explain without hearing it and I cant figure out how to post a video. I also changed my plugs around 40k miles.. im at 56k now

You might want to have your dealership check this out, boostedf150. Let me know what you hear; if you need me to step in and assist, send a PM my way with your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, and servicing dealership.
