It's possible that the ticking noise is coming from your valve train. This could be caused by low oil levels or dirty oil. I would recommend checking your oil levels and if they are low, top it off with the recommended oil for your Audi A4. If the noise persists, it may be best to take it in for a service.

Another possible cause for the ticking noise could be a problem with the timing chain or tensioner. This is more common in higher mileage vehicles. It's best to have a mechanic take a look at it and replace any worn components if necessary.

If the ticking noise is coming from the engine while it's running but stops when the engine is off, it could be a problem with the spark plugs. They may be worn out and need to be replaced. I would also recommend having the wires and coils checked as well.
