looks like the starter motor. the clicking sound appears to be the solenoid on the starter motor. when you turn the ignition, the solenoid click and its supposed to make contact to the motor. if the contacts are dirty, then the car won't start. repeated clicking will eventually make a little contact allowing the motor to turn. try changing the starter motor or servicing it. you can do it urself. remove the motor and pull the solenoid out. clean the brass contacts. they should be under the connections where the wire from ur battery connects. if it seems to be too much work, just get the motor replaced.

Your car wont start you here a clicking noise coming from somewhere near the glove box could it be your starter solenoid?

It may be the starter solenoid that is clicking. If the battery is very low when you try to start the car, the solenoid will engage but the starter will not turn. Because the battery is so low, there is not enough power to hold the solenoid closed (in the start position) and try to turn the started so as the starter draws power, the solenoid clicks open, The starter doesn't draw any power with the solenoid open so the solenoid has power to close again, the starter tries to draw power and the cycle repeats. The sound seems to come from behind the glovebox because the solenoid is probably mounted on the passenger side of the engine compartment.

How do you defend yourself from the ants with the pickaxe on Super Villain Island?

You can kill them by clicking on them as they approach you. The problem is that the ax tries to hit the square below them (blue hand appears) so it is not always a sure thing. Always have an escape, because one ant can hit you enough times to make you start over.
