Default Need some Advice or a Good Ear

I am looking at buying a 2014 F150 Super Crew w/5.0. It has some miles on it 201,000. I drove it and everything drove as expected…Great.
But when I lifted the hood it could hear a tick before I drove it. After the test drive its was a little quieter. It was cold outside 30* and the truck has been sitting. I’ll attach the videos.
Thanks

Since you just joining the site, I'd suggest uploading the videos to youtube and then sharing the links.

Too many viruses and junk that could be attached to the files.

I don’t hear a tick, pretty normal 5.0 engine sounds..ask the seller about maintenance, oil and filter brand, and how often between changes.
