Well, we can't tell you anything unless you tell us where the ticking noise is coming from (preferably upload a video of the noise), when it happens, if it's constant or only on start-up, how long it's been going on for, etc.
In other words, you need to give us way more information than you have (which is pretty much nothing).

I see it's a 2014 so I think it's a 3.6, and from what i've heard it's a issue with the cyl heads. Here is something I found that helps to explain it.

Wrangler Pentastar Engine ticking and how to fix it – Jeep Wrangler – Jeep – Offroad Forum
Hey guys. I had this (unfortunately not uncommon) Pentastar engine happening in the end of last year and thought I post my experiences for everyone who comes across the same issue. What has happened...

If it is ticking from the valve train / cylinder heads, unless you're a very good DIY mechanic, you'll want to take it to the dealer or a good mechanic that specializes in Jeeps.
Can't even begin to give you a cost, though I can all but guarantee it would be over $1000 if it is valve train related.

I just had my lifters replaced for ticking, I was in warranty, but they told me it would have been well over 1,000 to replace all lifters.
