Heat shield, an when you turn the car off that clicking is the throttle bodies checking something or something, lol

Probably some electrical part "resetting" (DEpointfive0's TB sounds like a likely suspect).
"Ticking" doesn't tell us much. How fast do the ticks occur? Periodic/random/variable? How long does the ticking last?

It's like a few ticks a second . It occurs for a minute or two after I turn the car off but it might still make the sound when the car is on but I can't hear it over the engine

As per Amj2020, it's nothing to worry about (assuming the noise is caused by cooling). I don't remember having a vehicle that didn't do it. Back when I was in high school, I would drive my Mom's Electra 225 with 455 CID engine like it was stolen and it would tick and pop for 10 minutes or so after shutdown. ![]()

![]() OP, most of my cars making that noise too. It's just the car being cooling down. Nothing to worry about.
