Ticking Noise Normal?

Hello all. I have a new GSR with 780miles. I've heard a ticking sound since the day I drove her home. I've been a bit paranoid about engine noise since coming from a GR STi. The video below is with a warm engine. I can hear the noise only when I am about 3ft from the front of the car. I don't notice it at all when sitting inside the car. I'm just concerned because this the first car I've owned with the tick so pronounced. The car is 100% stock. Is this normal?
