You can use a long thin screwdriver as a stethoscope to listen to the various parts of the engine to see where the noise is the loudest. Or, buy a car stethoscope for around $10 at the parts store.
Does the sound change with engine speed? I'll throw in a guess of the sucking sound being a pulley bearing. For how loud it is, that would be a heck of a vacuum leak and not only would it throw a CEL, the engine would run horrible.
Ticking sound isn't apparent, but could be a noisy hydraulic lifter, something going on with the VANOS, actuator valve for the evap system running, or normal fuel injector noise.
