I just had the oil and filter changed; the ticking persists.

Is this an unusual event? Should I be concerned?

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible that you cleaned the wax out of your ears lately?

No matter, as you and the car age you will notice less noise, the car will not be quieter though, you'll just be deafer.
