Engine ticking

I have brought my car back twice to the dealer for this excessive ticking noise from the engine. It's almost like the water torture. You can hear the tick through the entire range of rpm. They brush it off and say this is the way the car was designed. I can't believe General Motors would allow this design flaw. What do I do?

You may not like the answer but it's the way all the gen5 engines sound. It's a byproduct of the Direct Injection.

If that tick can be traced to a individual cylinder you most likely have a bad dod lifter. If the tick is all the cylinders then you are hearing the direct injection
