How loud? A little injector ticking noise is normal.

Does it fade when the engine is warm? If so then it could be a ticking tappet. This isn't really worth worrying about.

I've heard the spark plug lead ticking thing before now - it's certainly a possibility, for instance, a coilpack could be beginning to break down.

There's also loads more things (some nasty, some not so nasty) it could be.
