Sounds like it to me. Have you listened to other tick videos? Yours is a little faint.

I've started listening to them now more than before. Unfortunately I'm getting ready to head to work so I'll have to do more searching and what not later on tonight. I should've taken another video from under the wheel well. I have the plastic ripped outta the fender wells and its a bit more distinct sounding from there I think. I'll prolly just call the dealership and have them look at it regardless....

If you have to stand right next to it with the hood open to hear it, chances are its injectors. If you can hear 5 feet away with the hood closed, its a tic.

That's what mine sounded like but I could hear it from inside the Jeep with the windows up very distinctly. I'd have it looked at regardless.

I def cant hear it from inside the jeep. I just happened to bechecking fluid under the hood and heard it. After listening the video a few times and listening to the jeep with the hood down i dont think i got the tick.

No yours is just the typical sewing machine sound. I've owned many cars with the same sound. LS1's do it too. Its the injectors.

This is exactly what mine sounded like. 2 head replacements with in 10K miles. I HOPE yours is not the dreaded ticking but it sounds like it to me from my own personal experience. After second head replacement on the driver's side (yes had the driver's side head relaced twice), it makes absolutely NO noise. You can barely hear the injectors.
