Why is my Honda Accord making a ticking noise while idle?

I heard a ticking sound from my Honda Accord while I was at a red light the other day. I didn’t notice it much while driving but it seemed like every time I was idling I could hear it. What would an idling ticking noise mean for an Accord?

When a Honda Accord makes a ticking noise while idle, it may be due to a failed oil seal or malfunctioning water pump.
