A ticking noise when you first crank an engine can indicate several issues. It may be related to low oil pressure or insufficient oil reaching the engine components, which can cause lifters or valves to tick until oil circulation normalizes. Alternatively, it could be a sign of a loose or worn component, such as a timing chain or belt. If the noise persists or worsens, it's advisable to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle to prevent potential damage.

Could be a weak oil pump. The reason it is ticking is that the oil is not flowing to the lifters when it's cold. It's not that big of a deal.
