Most engines now use hydraulic lifters and they can leak a little, this causes space between then lifter and the push rod. This results in a tapping noise that goes away when they get warm or fill back up.
sounds like tappets they need adjusting get a screw driver a long 1 and put it against ur engine, and your ear to the handle of screwdriver wiles engine is running to hear the noise clearer, it sounds like oil is draing down then when u start up oil is pumped around it stops .
If the battery is old, it may no longer have the cranking amp it needs to turn the starter. If you have a multi-meter. Check the load on the battery when you get someone to start the engine, if the meter reads that it drops below 10.5 volts. You need a new battery, if the readings are good, then you'll need a new starter.
Good luck and keep us posted, a set of good jumper cables and another car may help get the engine started for now by boosting the battery.
i always use 91octane and frequent oil changes..but still the tic tic tic.. finaly my mechanic used lucas motor oil treatment and today is the first day of engine silence.. we shall see for how long.. but seems like a cheap fix... try it.
sounds like you have a dead battery, have it jumped and have your battery and alternator checked. also have checked for a draw after vehicle is turned off.
Sounds like you have bought a pup,could be nothing more than a the hydraulic tappets or?? a lot worse and unless i hear the noise i wouldnt have a clue to be trueful,best advice is to add some STP to quieten it down and then trade it in quick
they all do it dont worry wont get bad
