I found that it also can come from the power that you are powering the
PC with.

My asterisk box emit's ticks especially on my ISDN phones, it didn't do
so before i moved it recently and the only difference i can see is the
powerbar. 

Originally i had the box on a APC powerbar with filters etc. Now it's on a plain one 
without filters.
Moving it back on a powerbar with filters solves the problem.

 persistent tick tick tick tick has come back (after 3 days tick-free
 operation).

 Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with ZAP channels?  What
 steps did you take to resolve it?

Are you seeing anything in dmesg?  after you've heard some ticking, run dmesg 
and look for anything suspicious about the TDM card; things about power 
module resets and stuff.  I find that when I hear a good click or buzz I see 
that the power supply farted or otherwise confused the card.
