Possibly, just possibly something similar to an experience I had and wrote about a couple of weeks ago. How long have you had the ticking?
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

Seconded. You can also get ticking that sounds like its from outside but is the tripometer jumping a cog although easy to rule that out by checking its actually clocking up miles.
