If you push the clutch in does it go away?

Does it get louder with each rev?

Do you hear the ticking reverberating off houses and walls you pass?

That could be a coincidence. Ticking reverberating off walls, bridges, houses etc usually signifies some form of leak. It could be an exhaust leak, or a head leak, even a leak coming from a stripped spark plug hole which happened to be my case.
