they dont have lifters, I'd recommend not fixing this one to death. It has a warranty.

Now he just has to find a service advisor that won't say "They all do that."
Maybe if they have another Focus on the lot, they can compare the sounds.

I'm not going to fix anything while it has a warranty however I will have them fix any issues it has

It's just the way they sound. Imo they sound really precision. You're probably just hearing the fuel injectors.
go test drive another 2014, if it makes the same sound then don't worry about it.
its a high tech 12:1 compression ratio engine
with direct injection.
2.0L Ti-VCT GDI I-4
.. If you drove a subaru you would probably mention all kinds of engine noises as well.. that are 100% normal.
your best course of action.. do nothing.
or This

DI engines are noisey

YES! It's the high pressure fuel pump. Look at the black foam piece on the engine. Remove it and it will get louder. It's the nature of the beast. Both my Ecoboosts tick - the F150 louder than the SHO.

I've heard that di has noisier injectors, but comparing my 135i with di to my 318i with old fashioned injectors, the injector noise from the 318 is higher.
Could be anything.
Could be anything.
I would take it in to Ford b/c it shouldn't tick. Only engine I have ever heard tick was one of our CVPI's with 125K miles.
Piston slap ?

That's what happens when you run that door hinge oil 0W-20.
