It's normal
You have hydraulic lifters and they leak down with lack of engine use mainly..... Other lesser contributing factors are poor oil quality, wrong oil grade and poor oil pressure

take it for a half hour drive and it will go quiet..




Try using the search for more information.

I used the search and typed "loud tapping" and found quite a few useful posts
