Motor ticking

Excessive ticking is a symptom of direct injection on the 3.0T motors, the 3.7L engine is port injection and significantly quieter than a normal DI engine. @Q50Dak as Turbonut said that sounds like the belt if anything, you can check the belt tensioner and see if you are still in spec.

If I remember when I get home from work I'll do a comparison with my G37 but it sounds fine IMO, very unlikely to be the lifters or injectors as those would be more present at the top of the motor.
