If it's a light ticking sound it could be one of the fans knicking its housing. Esp if you reassembled it yourself recently.

Haven't had the MBP open, except the battery and RAM compartments.
It's under AppleCare through December.
I have a external clone, via SuperDooper! (was using ProSoft Data Backup, but found it somewhat problematic and less than intuitive), and a TimeMachine backup to a 1TB drive.
The ticking is intermittent. Seems OK at the moment. Does not seem connected with fan, or with optical drive. Didn't stop when I disconnected external power. I guess that leaves the HD. :-(
I'm going to borrow my wife's stethoscope and next time see if I can localize it a bit.
