However, what bout those of us that have it all the time? Mine is always there at temps 55* or below... I dunno why.

You spend too much time in off topic

The noise should change (quiet down) once the engine is warm and the valve timing is adjusted by the Dual VVT-i control, may only be a slight change in sound to some ears.
The engine has 4 timing chains, they are going to tick a little.
The chains rotate 4 cam shafts moving 32 valves, they are going to tick a little.

Timing belt motors are much quieter than chain motors and most of use have gotten used to the belt motors.
