If the ticking happens right when you turn on the heat, but then goes away after a few minutes, that's normal. Its the pipes expanding from the heat. If the tapping doesn't go away, you have air in the system that needs to be bled out.

The 'ticking` noise is the pipes moving under
thermal expansion and contraction.
It's quite normal.

Yep, you also have an expansion cylinder that makes a little noise also.
