is this your first car? most "tick" when cooling down because the metal is contracting from after it was heated up. the exhaust that is.

My catalytic converter ticks like a ****. I think that's a good sign, if it's really loud, that your cat is running hot. Could be due your air/fuel mixture being off. Try to pinpoint where the noise is coming from. A lot of that noise is normal just cooling, but if it's excessive, try to figure out where it's coming from.
