I can hear the ticking with the hood open and I am standing over it, but not when I am sitting in the car. I did notice when I switched to amsoil it was quieter. I don't have any shaking.

Although it's good to bring it to the dealer if you have any concerns one thing i'd like to mention: Our cars have composite(plastic) intake manifolds and from what I've heard, one of the side effects is that it allows for more mechanical noise to be heard. So the clicking sound would be the injectors. Apparently it's a common thing with engines that have composite intakes.

Not saying this is necessarily what you are hearing, just bringing up another possibility.
