Default Car won't start!!!!!:((

Ok guys I have a 98 z28 and I'm having problems with my car starting it has done this in the past but the security light was on and now it's not I put a new starter on it and it did fine for a while but now all of a sudden it won't start all the guages and all the lights work but when you turn the key over all you here is what sounds to be a silinoied clicking so I took it to our local dealer and they said they didn't no what it was and I'm just wondering if it might be another bad starter that is shorted out or something
