Default slight ticking when engine is cold but goes once engine warms up

What does this sound like problem wise on a impreza classic?

Slight ticking when engine is cold but goes once engine warms up? Not mine someone elses.

is it all the time or just when it hasn't been driven for a few days. (piston slap)
If it is every day, I have a very slight guess for wrong oil, too thick when cold?

What are the hydraulic tappets like on these? I've had a few cars where they're a known cold rattle maker.
