The noise is due to issues with the timing tensioners. Here is the latest TSB on the issue.
Take it to a dealer and have them replace them. It can lead to engine failure if not fixed.

Also, mine is a 13'. My build date is way after the ones that were apparently affected.

What kind of tick do you have? Because there is more than one with different causes for each. Is it a ignitor like tick with irregular pattern? or is it consistent and regular?
I'd still have them look at the tensioners if it is ignitor like tick, get a stethoscope and listen around to pinpoint where the noise is coming from.

Ignitor tick, irregular at idle, from the passenger's side. After warm up and more apparent right after oil changes (I've read where others noticed it more after oil changes as well). I've also read and heard about several people having their f150 or mustang torn completely down and nothing was found. It gets more consistent up until about 1200 rpm then goes away completely. No scratching noise as if the chain is rubbing against the cover or anything.
