Does this sound like normal ticking?

[Nik691]

Car has recently developed this tick noise that is different from the bbq tick on cold starts. It does this inconsistently, and seems to do it more so on cooler days. After the car is warmed up and driven, the tick disappears. When the car is warm started, it also hasn’t done it. My guesses are hpfp, or cam phaser being starved oil during cold start. I’m not super worried because I know they make noises, but wanted some opinions before I schedule with a dealer for possibly no reason. Ignore the belt spinning in the first vid, I am talking about that ping type noise.

That's a rattle and it's not normal. Just got to try to pin it down by ear. If it's nothing directly on top/within hands reach, maybe check the PCV valve? Kind of sounds like one to me.
