most likely what your hearing is the injectors. Mine does the same thing from when I first got it until now. I thought it was something bad also. Had it checked out and they told me the noise was from the injectors and valetrain.

it can be a bunch of things, everything from no big deal to turn the car off...the key question is does it go up with the RPM's, meaning when you rev the motor at lets say 3k RPM's or so does it get louder and consistent with the RPM's being higher? or does it stay the same?
and when you say tick/knock, these are 2 very different things. Ticking on a STi motor/heads is very common. Knocking is never normal under most any circumstances.
Get it checked out!

good idea.
never hurts to just "make sure". It's more than likely just the heads/valvetrain/injectors...they can be a bit noiser on the STi's.
but making sure is key!
