Answer 1

If it is an animal, it may be a species of click beetles. They are very common- particularly when it is hot, and are nocturnal. Clicking is mainly used to avoid predation, although it is also useful when the beetle is on its back and needs to right itself. So it could be that.

Other than that, I don't know of many common animals that make a distinct 'clicking' sound. It could be an appliance or other device, not animals at all.

Coincidentally, vampires also make 3 clicks the night BEFORE they decide to strike...
