My click is very high pitched, kind of like banging two 16 penny nails together, or two coins. It's not always associated with a bump, I have found.

Maybe the post about fuel pump may be onto something. It's very annoying, since it's located right behind my ear.

Are you sure its not the rear wind deflector and clips...did mine , an easy fix with some small stick on felt pads.. sounds right behind your ear hole..!¬!

I don't have a deflector, so that's not what I'm hearing. I've heard a lot of people having troubles with noises from those. If I ever get one, I will know what to listen for.
