Change your plugs.
Its not your brakes making the noise. Most liklly your CV joint is warn out.
Possible lifters that are bad that could explain your ticking noise. It should cost you nothing by stopping by an Auto repair shop and have them listen to your engine.
Most likely it's your valves in need of adjustment.
My car was making this noise when I started it up. the noise went away after driving for a while. turnd out I just needed more oil.
check your wheel bearing
It could be that hydraulic lash-adjusters may be clogged up.
It could be a sticking hydraulic lifter or valves that are slightly out of adjustment.
Check the oil. Failed lifters/rocker arms would not be uncommon.
