Default need help - ticking sound

Hello guys
A couple of years ago I used to hear this ticking sound from my 04 hemi but it goes away after the car warms up. Now it’s been a while am hearing the same sound while driving whenever I step my foot on the accelerator pedal.

You can hear what am talking about here (first 10 secs car is idle, ticking becomes clear after 00:13):

Is this the popular hemi tick? If it is, is it fixable since am really annoyed by it!!
If not, any ideas on how to fix this are really appreciated
Thanks

That my friend is an exhaust leak. Check your manifolds for any broken or missing bolts/studs.

Definitely not the "Hemi tick". Does sound closer to an exhaust leak. Does it idle OK?
