I was getting the ticking noise while turning a few years ago at an autocross and one of the course workers came up to me and mentioned it afterwards. I had definitely torqued all of my lug nuts to 140 ft-lbs myself beforehand and still had the issue. Running a drill wire wheel attachment on the rotor hats and backs of the wheels where they mate to the rotor hat solved the issue for me. So I guess there are multiple possible causes. I repeat this around once per year as a preventative measure so that the clicking noise doesn't return but most of the time I didn't notice the clicking noise anyways due to the wind noise from driving with the windows down and the exhaust noise.
I never applied any grease or anti-seize.
The local Discount Tire does this by default for all cars (except using air tools instead of electric) whenever they remove wheels from a car.
