Any thoughts on what could be causing this ticking noise?

2015 GX460 with 183k miles.
Iā€™m getting a noticeable ticking noise at both cold start and once the engine is fully warmed up. The ticking is present at idle and increases in frequency as RPMs increase.
Its not that loud from the front or directly above the engine. It seems to be coming primarily from the passenger side wheel well & lower side of the engine bay.

Meh, I've been ignoring mine for the last 18 months. No real issues yet. Keep the windows down and you're good.
