Default ticking

I just bought a new is350. Just wondering if it is normal for it to have a pretty loud ticking under the hood, kind of sounds like an injector.
I have not taken it back to the dealer because it is a hour away so I thought I would see if it is normal?

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your new IS.

This car has direct injection, which operates at very high pressures. The ticking noise is normal.

Thanks for the reply. I was just a little worried. My race car sounds quieter from the injectors than my lexus. But as long as nothing is wrong what can I say.

Mine ticks when I first start the car. I just assume that it's normal.
