No, this isn't common. What viscosity and type of oil was used? 5W-30 full synthetic is a minimum requirement, Dexos 2 is ideal.

Are you maybe hearing the injectors click? They are noisy on these engines.

Yeah thats pretty possible i put in 5w30 full synthetic made sure it was dexos approved [emoji2369] im thinking maybe bad motor mounts could cause the weird shaking but otherwords the injectors clicking is probably what the ticking noise is

NOTE: "Dexos 1 Gen 2" is what you want as the best OEM Spec. Do not confuse that with "Dexos 2".

Dexos 2 was originally designed for Diesels, said to be OK for some gas engines. Dexos 2 does not cover LSPI (Low Speed Pre Ignition - affecting Turbo Engines), GM no longer recommends for most gas engines. "Dexos 2" is almost exclusively for Diesels. Here is a seemingly up to date article that lays out the details nicely:

All i know is its the same kind iv put in my hhr and my ion redline both were ecotech engines and ran fine with it best guess is that the motor mounts need replacing and its just injectors lol cause it only happened the one time unless having a cold air intake could cause it

Read the article provided. Look into what LSPI does (Pre Ignition which creates a noise) and compare to the new Ticking you referred to. I am guessing you have a 1.4T. That is specifically what you do not want a Dexos 2 oil in. Dexos 2 is far less common than Dexos 1 or Dexos 1 Gen 2 in the stores. But be sure. HAGD.
