?  If the ticking frequency doesn't change when the engine rpm changes, then it 
isn't related to anything in or on the engine.  If it doesn't change when the 
car's road speed changes then it isn't related to anything touching the road, 
not to wheels nor to the drivetrain from the gearbox on back. 

Is your heater fan clicking?  Is something loose swinging back and forth?  Do 
you have a loose hood latch? 

I'm being facetious.  You need to re-consider your perceptions.  Quite likely 
there is a change in frequency that correlates to something, but that 
correlation may be more subtle that you've been expecting.
