IS 350 Loud Ticking Noise

[jesumodding]

I was cruising with my Lexus IS 350 and I started to hear a loud ticking noise. I pulled over and this is what the sound sounded like. 

 

I let the engine sit for about 2 hours and when I turned the car on, the sound was gone for about 10 seconds and then it came back. Has anyone experienced this or has any idea what could cause this?

Have you checked the engine oil 🛢 🤔

Could it be something to do with the oil 🛢 pressure switch 🤔
