When was the last time you changed you oil? My guess is a spun rod bearing. This happens on low oil for a long period of time. I've had this happen to me and a few people i know. It started tapping very quietly in some RPM ranges. As time went on it got louder and louder and would do it constantly. also, It would tick during idle. Do an oil change ASAP, if there is metal in the pan or in the oil, you might be looking for a new motor.
