Lota ticking coming from the engine bay

I always hear alot of things going on in there, but sometimes I think its louder than what it should be. I also hear my TB sucking in alot of air which might be good, but it sounds retarded outside the car. Anyways. Its weird, sounds as if its "ticking" under the plenum. Do the fuel rails or injectors make loud audible ticking noises?> What gives? Shes not getting ready to blow is she? Thanks guys

Will

On my 305 TBI, you can hear then injectors but there basicly outside the engine, I would say does it run rough at all, it maybe an intake gasket leak somewhere on the tpi runners or where the base meets the heads. It could be an exhaust leak too, but you said it was coming from the intake.
