More than likely the battery is to weak to start the engine. If it's not the battery, the starter may be the culprit.
dead battery or bad starter (with the clicking, I'm 95% sure its the battery)
==headline== needs answer, nothing to do with charging system.
Anti-rattle clips not installed properly
Depends on what's wrong with the starter, exactly. It could be whirring sound, a clicking sound, no sound at all, etc.
It could be a starter problem....can you tell where the click is coming from? is it the started clicking, or a relay clicking?
Check the starter solenoid, starter ground resistance, and voltage out of thesolenoid when activated. If the solenoid is not clicking then the issue is either the relay or the fuse to the solenoid.
Dead battery; you left the lights on, didn't you?
I guess it could be something wrong with your neck movement or you might be hearing the click of TMJ. I turned my head as far as I could to the right just now and heard a click but not on the left side.
Check to make sure that ALL turn signals are working Could be flasher
Usually battery or solenoid. If you hear a clicking noise, it is the solenoid. find the red wire coming off the battery, follow it until it connects to the solenoid, take off the red and black wires, put new solenoid in and your done.
