Total swerve ball with this. My car had a screenwasher pipe rubbing agains one of the air con fans. I had to replace it as it wore through. Maybe worth a look

Air intake duct catching....I bet somebody has pulled the air filter housing out to do the cambelt and not put it back properly

Mmmmm not sure what it was but now disappeared (the clicking)
All I did was remove the fr grill picked a few bits of junk out leaves small twig even, then blasted in all the corners through the fans etc with one of those air blaster cans (not very potent but might have done the trick) I use on my pc for blasting out dust from fans/crevices /etc..
Tried it since  no noise  :y
