Default Is this Lifter Tick?

My car starts up and runs fine but but after a long drive of 32 miles to and from work, I hear this sound.

Is that the first time you listened to your engine? It sounds normal! Natually engine sounds video's taken with a cell phone often sound more ominous than they are.
Here is my engine moving close and far with a cell phone. The engine is 100% perfect working order and health.

Thank you! I feel a whole lot better. No I've heard my engine from a cold start and it does not tick. Itr's only after a 10 or so mile drive.
After seeing the shape and cleanliness of your engine and the way it sounds, you convinced me. You definitely have the same tick.Thanks so much for easing my mind.
