Default Ticking noise

I have 07 Z06. Almost every time when I start my car and solw start I hear one ticking noise, so I thought it was coming from sway bar endlink( I know I need to change my endlink) but today my friend was following me right next to me and he told me there is lots of ticking noise coming from my rear end up until 20~30 MPH(until he cant hear the ticking noise cuz exhaust sound)...
Anybody have this kind of noise????

Sounds like a axle bolt to me. But you shouldn't hear it with the car moving. When just starting out, i was hearing a click. I removed the axle bolts and re-applied with the right torque. Dont remember the torque, but it was like 150LB ft.They were not torqued at the right specs. Hope this might help.
