Noisy lifters???

I use BND Automotive products, mostly within my Charger (not being stock) to keep its internals running healthy, some of you here may be on the CF's and know of whom I'm speaking of. Anyway, I use his ACES IV fuel additive in my '09 Ram as well, and one thing I noticed "Greatly" is much less to almost no valve noise (aka Hemi Tick). This after only four applications of ACES IV.

Which it is, I had an '05 Ram same issue. Doesn't affect anything performance wise, just an annoying sound at times. The Durango's and Aspen's with the Hemi have had this issue too. The 5.7 valve springs have retainer rings around them, they started using them because of owners over-reving their motors during the early Hemi production.
My '07 Ram had more of a cricket noise coming from the exhaust manifold area, which also part of the same reason, also considered "normal operating sounds."
