Default Ticking noise, should I be concerned

I have noticed lately that at idle, I do not hear any ticking or anything, but if I lightly press the peddle, I do hear a slight ticking noise. Some might say it is valve ticking, but normally that is heard better at idle. I know these engines have all kind of fancy things, is this something I should be worried about?

Advise please!

If it's a light ticking, it could be the injectors (normal). You should hear this at idle, though.
