The clicking noise you hear could be a sign of low engine oil. Make sure to check your oil levels and top it off if needed. If the noise persists, it could also be a sign of worn out engine components. It's best to take your car to a mechanic for a thorough inspection.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Rio and it turned out to be a loose belt. Check if any of your engine belts are loose or worn out and replace them if necessary. If that doesn't solve the issue, then it's best to get a professional opinion.

The clicking noise could also be coming from the valve train. If the noise gets louder as you accelerate, it's most likely because of a faulty valve. Taking your car to a mechanic and getting the valve adjusted or replaced can help resolve the issue.

I had the same problem with my Kia Rio and it was due to a loose spark plug. Make sure to check all your spark plugs and tighten them if necessary. If the noise persists, it's best to get it checked by a professional.
