Ticking in engine compartment when A/C is running

We’re finally experiencing summer like weather in spring in Michigan. I turned on the A/C for the first time this year today and there’s a ticking sound coming from the engine compartment when the A/C is running. It’s mainly noticeable at idle, but that could just be that it’s hard to hear over the road noise, etc. The A/C still blows cold, though, and nothing stinks. I’ve got an appointment with my trusted mechanic next week, but I’m curious if others have encountered this. Thanks!

Turns out the lower part of the air intake got out of whack a bit (probably when we did a tune up and DSG flush), and was occasionally hitting the cooling fan. $40 later and all fixed! Yay!
