Slight clicking/ticking during acceleration

Hey guys, just got my first SHO last week and I noticed that during acceleration I can hear a noticable clicking/ticking noise that stops as soon as I get to cruising speed (regardless of what speed that is). My buddy told me that the injectors on these ecoboost motors are known for being rather loud but wanted to verify with you guys if that was correct or not. Any insight into this would be great! Thanks

Not normal... at idle if you are listening sure, they are noisy motors. Shouldn't hear them when you are accelerating.

Check strut mounts, hubs & bearings.  Most common source of clicking sounds.  What year SHO btw?  2013 by any chance?
 
I also started noticing the same thing feels it's traction control finding traction or abs only sometimes on hard throttle when everything aligns sometimes hard throttle I get slower acceleration then when I get the good hard acceleration sometimes it will do the noise

Originally thought it was from the rear driver but now more hear it driver front

What might have started it was turning and hit the throttle to hard making traction control turn on something might be compramissed now?

Welcome Maverick and -X2 above and would not rule out being your wheel hubs,thrust washers especially it being a 13 Performance package. 
Did you check for any codes set?  Z

Thanks for the replies guys, the noise sounds like it's coming from directly in front of me while I'm driving and it only does it under acceleration.

Haven't got to check for any codes but if there is, they're not illuminating the CEL. Reading the description does sound like it fits the bill with the clicking on accel. Will probably take it to my local Ford dealer Friday morning, think I'm good until then?

So just for the sake of looking for a pattern, I paid closer attention to what circumstances it would make this noise. I swear it sounds like a lifter tick but would kinda need lifters to be the culprit.  On the last trip I took just driving to get food on my lunch break, under light/mild acceleration, the noise would start at around 2100/2200rpm and then progressively get louder up to 2500rpm when it would shift and rpm would drop back to 2000 and the noise would go away and the repeat as the rpm climbed again.  In an open parking lot I attempted to listen for out of the ordinary noises while turning full lock left and right and noticed that there seemed to be more noise while turning full right but that may just be because the driver side tire is sticking out allowing more noise to be projected but I'm not sure. Thoughts?

That's not a tick.  That's a knock.  And on a 16 too?  Is it in the shop already?

Not saying it is one, but a rod knock would not necessarily cause a code.  A motor can run within timing, fueling, a/f ratio, etc spec and have a problem in the bottom end.

Hard to tell in a video, but it sounds like a top end noise more to me.  But, that could just be in the video.  Maybe see what it sounds like under the car.

Sounds like rod knock to me.  Not good, but at least you're still under warranty.  If it's not already, make sure that car is completely back to stock.

Yea no, mine sounds nothing like that. I took it in to the dealer Thursday morning and one of the techs went for a ride with me and I pointed out the noise. He called it "engine rollover noise" which I've never heard of before but he says it's common on all overhead cam engines, also said it's particularly bad on 4cyl engines but said it's nothing to worry about at all. That noise you've got there however sounds worrisome.
