See if it's coming from under the dash. It could be a bad temperature door actuator. They'll click when they go bad. Try moving the temperature control from hot to cold and see if the sound momentarily stops. If it does, that's definitely what's going on. Hope that helps! Jim

If coming from under the dash on the right side it could also be the BCM clicking. If clicking changes with engine speed, it could be low or contaminated engine oil. If it changes with the speed of the car, it could be a damaged wheel bearing or suspension part. Wouldn't it be better to ask someone who can actually hear the sound?
