If its not very loud then yes its common.. Sometimes it goes away by itself for a few seconds
 Is the lifter not getting oil or something....

i remember reading that there is a very common ticking noise due to the lifters getting stuck. totally normal. once the engine reaches normal operating temps it should go away.
