I am not hearing the ticking at all...

Sometimes, what you think might be something like light lifter ticking is actually the injectors firing normally. Another sound of "ticking like sound" can be an exhaust leak at the manifold.

Post a video of the noise when you can. You may also have an exhaust leak at the manifold(s). But like @wsteele said, the noise may just be injectors. First you have heard the noise? Right after an oil change? Other work done?

It could also be the infamous piston slap the LS engines are well known for..

IMO, that does sound like a lifter tick noise. But I have also seen here and heard here about driving 1000's of miles with no problems.

The first video can hear it clearer.
