When was the last time you changed the oil? I usually find the lifters get a bit noisy when the oil gets a little old. Especially if it's been pretty warm as of late. And idling engine gets pretty hot on a warm day, and the oil gets pretty thin. The oil pressure can be pretty low at hot idle, and any lifter that wants to be noisy will be at low pressure.
In general, worn chains are worn all the way around, so they tend to be rumbly, not a tick-tick-tick. It might be just one fuel injector, or the fuel pressure damper has finally died.
I would change the oil if it's near its time and otherwise not sweat it. These engines like to be a bit rattly.
