99 3.0 - Purge Solenoid Ticking? (Video)

Hi all, was hoping someone could help me.

I've had this car for 5 months, rougly 103,000 miles. No performance issues, car runs fine.

Over the past few days I've noticed a slight ticking sound inside the car. Can only really hear it with the radio and AC off. It never happens right when I start it, but usually kicks in after a few minutes of driving. I can hear it at a red light or when I'm parked, but seems to go away when I start driving. It's not constant though. Sometimes I can hear it, sometimes I cant.

I got an oil change after I noticed this, but that didn't change anything. Took my car to the shop and was basically told not to worry about it.

I've read this could possibly be the purge solenoid? I've attached a video I took this morning. Unfortunately you have to have the sound cranked up to hear the noise I'm talking about.

I have 4 Acuras with V6 engines. Every single one has the purge solenoid ticking. My cars are in perfect shape and get better than epa mpg. I doubt this is a problem, its just something thats suppose to function all the time imo.
