I also left a cd in car stereo with the record of the ticking noise. I am attaching one track from this cd here. Hopefully it can help somebody who is wondering about the ticking sound.
Anyway I've got a call from service manager that they were able to hear ticking noise and my car should be ready next week. It is hydraulic valve lifters. I am going to ask for a copy of parts list replaced and will publish it here. Also, I asked sevice manager about long term impact to the engine and was assured there is none.
PS For some reason I can't attach file. I'll try again later.

$10 (virtual $ of course
) says that your parts list will look like this:
(24x) Hydraulic Valve Lifters (push-rods): 11-33-7-548-690
(1x) Set of Aluminium Screws: 11-12-0-392-548
(15x) Torx Bolt: 11-12-7-535-024
(1x) Valve Cover Gasket: 11-12-7-536-785
the valve lifters were my exact problem. When was the build date on your car? Also, kind of interesting that the service manager immediately recognized the sound. Wonder how many other ppl have had this issue?
Anyway, it's been about 4mo since my issue, and I haven't noticed any problems at all since the fix (knock on wood). If they do it right, hopefully you'll be good to go too.

dude, it sounds like you might have knocked something loose maybe. I'd take it to get looked at if you can't isolate the problem.
