I'm sure your dealership would be more than happy to tell you if theres something wrong. Kinda hard to diagnoise a noise over the internet but its normal to have some noise coming from the alternator/belt/pulley area.

From this statement hear, sounds like the noise you speak of is lifter noise, and in my opinion it is normal.

Ok since you confirmed it's a ticking sound, then my bet would be the injectors. I'm almost 100% positive it is.
