If it varies with rpm it might be a worn connecting rod bearing. My wife's 2002 9-5 (2.3L) did what you are describing for quite a while. Only ticked at certain rpm, oil pressure fine, ran perfect at highway speeds (no tick). power and mileage fine. Drove me nuts and I thought I had it narrowed down to the balance shafts using a stethoscope (well, dowel rod actually which works just as well). Wrong. After maybe 40,000 miles of ticking the weak rod bearing spun sitting at a stoplight. That was that- had to replace engine since you have to remove the engine to get the crank out anyway. Didn't sound like any rod knock I had heard before as it wasn't the typical low knock under load at all.
