I took it for a hard drive "n" it was scary fast, took it for an oil change @ Honda, they didn't say much, just to add Fuel anti-freeze,nothing feels out of the ordinary, but that sound is still there, only when you listen closely, high revs its a beast

If you hear it sitting do you mostly hear it inside the car or on the drivers side?

If so its most likely the purge control solenoid which is a very common thing and not to be worried about. You can either have it replaced if its bothering you or leave it.

I also have the same ticking. I'm going to assume that the purge solenoid is the sensor located near the driver side firewall? I took it off another TL, but I haven't had time to replace it.
