There’s two separate noises, a static sound, and a tick noise that I’m praying is not rod knock I really can’t tell if it is or not.

Fill out your profile with year and model info.

No idea what you mean by "static sound", but the tick is very clear. Alleviate external rotating items by removing the belts and running briefly. It does sound like a tick from the top end. Use a mechanics stethoscope and see if you can isolate to a cylinder/bank....if so, remove the valve cover and check for a broken spring, rocker issue, etc.
