It's a deliberate, factory designed shift lever interlock... covered in the handbook :y

Basically it stops you from moving the lever from park accidentally, which is nice. Absolutely, totally and perfectly normal :y

The click is the solenoid working, and is both normal and unavoidable.
If it bothers you, wrapping some dense foam around it might make it quieter.

My wife once complained that she couldn't pull the shifter to drive from park.

Press the brake pedal I told her and you'll be able to do it  ::)
