If you are talking about a 'ticking' sound comming from what seems to be the top of the engine, then its probably the normal injector noise. Yes, it at first sounds a bit awkward, but its normal. All IS (and practically all Toyota engines) make a ticking sound, and its louder when the engine is cold. You can hear it in your car when the engine is idling, but it gets drowned out under acceleration.

wow, seriously? 
+1. it's the direct injection system.
no need to take it to the dealer for something the 2is is supposed to do.
considering the number of monitoring/failsafe controls on the 2is, if the issue is something the 2is isn't supposed to do, you'll definitely know.
