Run a heavier weight oil. That helps with valve tick.

Change your oil, first video is the oil pump. It's not a tick but a whine. Can't view second video due to flash.

It's normal for the oil pump to whine. Change it with fresh synthetic 5w30. I find that the car likes pennzoil platinum the best (the oil made from natural gas), then report back.

Maybe try a different oil to see if it improves.
