Your fans only kick on when the temp reaches a certain set point, so I guess if you just turned off your car and turned it on 5 mins later the fans would kick on if temp is still high. From a normal cold start, no.
Some of our cars have that annoying ticking noise, but I think that is mainly from the back of the engine by the throttle body. If you are sure that it is by the belts, I would check the tension on you belts. You might also wanna take a look at the pulleys for the possibility of worn bearings.

I like gator backs, but I think Dayco bought them out so they make them now. Oems are probably fine.
