I only got the clicking noise when i first start my engine and it was cold outside. "valve train noise" . Do your self a favor and get the loudest exhaust you can you'll never ask yourself again "what is that noise". I turned my exhaust off one time and was hearing weird things and i was like **** it and turned the exhaust back on lol

I think I know the sound you're talking about. A fast ticking/clicking, maybe 3ticks a second? And it's REALLY low - quiet enough where revving the engine the tiniest amount drowns it out? I can't even tell if the ticking varies with engine RPM because as soon as the engine leaves idle speed the noise is drowned out. I don't think it's valvetrain noise, it almost sounds like the A/C compressor or something but when I popped the hood and listened under there I couldn't hear it... I'm 99 percent sure my car has always made that noise.
