I too have been mesmerised by this ticking noise from the exact place you mentioned (the center of the console) when I switch off the ignition. It doesn't happen frequently, but often enough for me to get concerned and hope that it goes away by the time I return (as is my usual approach to any semblance of car trouble)!
