Ticking sound This morning while the car was cold, started it up. Then went to the store and all of a sudden hearing a ticking sound. Sounds like engine has no oil. But I did check and there is oil 3/4 full, I check the transmission oil, that's fine, brake fluid and thats fine, even the water in the the plastic container is normal position. The ticking sounds like a tap, tap, tap or tick tick tick. It happens when the engine is hot or running. When being parked it's quiet. Any suggestion(s). I hope it don't cost to much to fix. The car has only 67,000 miles on it. Carol

After parking the car, went to start up next morning and it was making a ticking noise. Sounded like it was coming from alternator/starter motor. Car is a 2004 Ford XR6 BA Falcon
ticking if external component like alternator / pulleys can be bearings or debris --internal ticking usually oil starved valve train or loose rocker arm --as to oil starve check oil pressure and flow sludge or worn oil can cause oil flow problems

2004 Cadillac cts Car would not start so i replaced the catalyst converter and after doing so it started right up but was making a ticking noise from rear of engine
ticking noise sounds like a small exhaust leak. Get under car and run your hand near where you hear it. That could be because of the recent exhaust work. A small leak sounds just like a tick in the engine

Whats the ticking sound all of a sudden?
It sounds like a collapsed hydraulic valve lifter- a part of yoiur valve train in the upper engine. You need to have it checked at a shop you trust I don't know of any oil additives that can cure this, although someone here may give you some advice.
Loose valve train noise is common on high-mileage engines, but if it is a collapsed lifter, I think you should have it checked.
A loose timing chain will make a rhythmic slapping sound, but the ticking you describe sounds more like it's in your valve train. Have someone check it.

Hi! I tried to start my car (2000 Chrysler Cirrus) this morning, but it just makes a muffled growling noise an/or a ticking noise. My friend came by to jump start it, but that didn't work. Any ideas?
I could be wrong, but it sounds to me that your starter has just broke it's last leg. Many things can cause the starter to go bad. If all you hear is a ticking noise, then chances are that the starter gave up. You can have someone take it off and go to a parts store and have them test it for you, (some MAY charge you for this while others won't). This will tell you if your starter needs to be replaced. Be prepared. Considering the year, a replacement may very well be tastey expensive. Good luck. Hope this helps.

Ticking sound
Gm will tell you this is normal lifter noise if it from the top of the motor. It could be from the exhaust but you would hear it from under the car more. I do not care for the responce from GM but they say it is ok.

Ticking sound
several possible issues. old cars most likely have valve issues. before spending a lot of money - 1. check to make sure the belts are not frayed and any loose strands cut off - they can also make a ticking sound. 2. you can buy a thicker oil additive at a parts store - if that works, then you need to take it to a mechanic for a valve adjustment. be prepared for bad news, if the car is 20 yrs old, it may be time for retirement.
