so what is that ticking noise. I hear it when I drive. I am concerned about it, but not really concerned about because I don't have a CEL or anything. But still that ticking sound makes me feel uncomfortable with my car.

I also have the same problem. However, I noticed it even more when I turned the windshield "defroster" on. Once I turn off the defroster it goes away.

See if there is any relation to when you hear the noise and if you can the AC or defroster on.

the ticking sound is caused by the strut bar. I have a dc sports bar..whatever sits under the bar where that wire harness is vibrates and taps against the strut bar.. I know you're thinking 'it couldn't be that loud.' well i put a trust scion wristband in between the two..and whamo!! no more ticking sound.

I have that same purr. I know exactly what you are talking about. Camrys make it too. My car made it since it was brand new. It's a normal noise, quit stressing.
