Is it fair to assume that most of the time under most normal conditions that the valves will loosen, rather than tighten over time?

And, is it also true that if the ticking doesn't get louder as the engine becomes warmer, then chances are everything is OK?

I heard ticking on just about everything I've ever owned, but it's never gotten noticably louder as the engine warmed up.
