I'd say exhaust leak...
rev the car up and see if it gets faster as the RPMs climb.
I have never heard an alternator tick, but I've heard it whine before.. mine whines at times [img]tongue.gif[/img]
if no exhaust leak... only other thing I can think of it valve train noise or a misfire.. misfires will tick sometimes too when the spark arcs to something other than the plug.<b><a href=\"http://members.cox.net/95batmobile/d86f.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Sinister Six©</b></a><br /><a href=\"http://www.sounddomain.com/id/95batmobile\" target=\"_blank\">My \'95 Bird</a><br />I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.

ticking could be your altenator or maybe even your water pump making the noise. Else possible exhaust leak.

Ticking is usally one of the following, valve train wear and or low oil, or like pastor Larry said, spark jumping around the engine compartment, but that is a different sound, a tick but not as constant as a valve train noise.95 convertible 3.8 series II

Or it could be your injectors. We have loud injectors.
