Injectors making noise?

I have a 1989 iroc tpi 305.I bought the car with 22lb bosch 3 injectors in it and I haven't switched them.I notice that when I pop the hood you can hear the ticking from the injectors and the more I rev the car the faster the ticking goes.I want to know if this is normal because the mechanic said its normal but I don't think so.So does anyone have a solution for this because I cannot stand the ticking.

It is normal for Bosch III's to tick. I know.....noisy, but great injector!

Normal, but I really dislike the sound. May find some original injectors and clean the heck out of em!

Shouldnt the 305 have 19lb unless you have mods?

stock it does come with 19lb but since the person I bought the car from switched them I left it alone. The car runs great but I just want to make sure my pump doesn't go out or cause anything else to go bad.
