There is a ticking noise coming from the engine while being idle/driving. I am not sure why this is happening and what is the proper fix for this? And code p0430 - catalyst system efficiency below threshold (bank 2).

The code and noise can be related. If the catalytic converter has fallen apart inside it will make a rattling sounds and make the code. Here is a guide to help you confirm the failure:
