Answer 2

You have termites. That's their defense, making clicking noises when they feel threatened.

Answer 3

Do you have a clock? or live through the wall to someone who might have put up a clock.

Answer 4

You don't have termites, or a clock. That was me, I'm afraid.

Totally joking. Sounds like you got mice or woodworm or whatever "the devil" it is these days. Good luck getting rid of that.

Sounds like a plan.
