if you could tell us exactly where the noise is comming from.. This post is like saying .. I got a noise from the front help me.. you need to tell us where around the dash specificaly. and clicking is it more like a switch that goes on and off and when it does make this noise does everything in your car works? also what did you do to your car prior to this noise.. and tell us everything you did all wiring and things you removed

for sure it is in the dash
inbetween the engine compartment and interior
passenger side.
might be a switch cuz its 2 kinds of clacking soudns alternating

i recently hit a pothole pretty hard on the right side.

im just wondering wat could be there to make a sound like that
it increses with vehicle speed.
and it started hissing too : /

I'd say main relay, go to a junk yard and snag one.
