Tick tick tick?? my first thought is, u need a litre of motor oil NOW. Check ur dipstick now.
Second thought, u need ur valves adjusted when the engine is cold. This illiminates a ticking noise, when a valve clearance is too wide.
Third thought, & the most serious, one of ur piston rings has broken, & it is rattling. (But this is very rare, after 200,000 miles it is even rare then.) Pistons usually have 2 or 3 rings each.

Reverse is a very low gear, & the engine has a low rpm. l do not think the problem is ur gearbox at all. Do u know how to check ur gearbox oil? Manual Transmission? You have to remove the filling plug & hope a little bit spills OUT. Then u know it is full.

Just follow up on my first & second thought..neither is serious if attended too right away..good luck

That is the 'tick, tick ticking' of the self destruct timer built into ALL Peugeots.
