You probelly should check your fluid levels.

If you are not burning oil or water and you see no smoke at exhurst, Check your belts

It is probably the wheel bearings they have been known for that.

I bought a used 05 Silverado and it had started to get a ticking noise. I had one of the lifters replaced as it was determined that it was sticking. A week later the oil pump went. Replaced the pump and have not had any issues since.

SOURCE: A loud ticking noise?

No I would not chase to the pistons, these vehicle were very comon in creating HLA noise hydraulic lash adjusting valves, meaning the valves pump up with oil as the oil gets thinner they dont pump up as fast and create a very loud ticking noise, I would not express a great concern over simplicity, dodge was famous for this, they really were.

If it's from top side and you're SURE it's not lifters, it's probably a bad valve(s) or a "wrist pin" that holds piston to rod.

Sounds like a rotating electrical device not connected to the drive belt, like a rad fan. Not sure if this engine has a vacuum pump, but that could also be what's making the noise.

I have a 2005 nissan altima. Which I hate, we've had nothing but problems with this car and now it is making a ticking noise which seems to be coming from the right side of the engine. Also it seems to...

A lot of times a ticking sound is the valves, which usually means a valve job when it gets bad enough.

But if it is a gentler tick sound it could be what is know as a wrist pin knock, which in some cases is not a big deal and others a big deal.

If the sound gets louder and louder, you will have to do something about it. But if it stays pretty constant then you monitor it, and look for other indications such as losing power, excessise oil use, etc.

There is a loud ticking noise coming from under the hood. it gets louder when i step on the gas

For most vehicles it usually means a lifter out of adjustment, I have actually heard
a timing belt do this as it began to fail (if your vehicle has over 90 thousand miles)
Both items would require a visit to the auto repair shop. I hope this is useful.

Serpentine belt tightener pulley bearing was bad, made a loud noise. I replaced the pulley (jobber part) and the noise level was reduced enough to notice the waterpump was also making a noise ... more revs = louder noise. I am now replacing the water pump. (approx 60k Miles too).

When I start my car it shakes a little while in park then when I put my foot on the gas pedal it makes this loud noise. The faster I try to go the louder it gets. It sort of like a ticking noise.

Sounds like you have a misfire. May be a tune up only issue. Get it serviced and diagnosed. There most likely a code stored to direct the technician
