Default Engine tick please help!

Engine is ticking when in neutral and park. does not tick when accelerating, but when I let off the accelerator it ticks until it settles at around 1500 rpms. Most of the ticking is heard around 2000-3000 rpms. A video is being added so you can hear. Its come from the upper portion of the engine.
