If it sounds like it's coming from the steering wheel, it could be the problem I'm having that the dealership will be fixing for me this friday..

it seems that right at the base of the steering/dash board..(eh i guess right above where your legs are, is some mechanism that shifts temperature etc etc...it's more a flap than anything...and that mechanism may be jarred broken or faulty.... in which case it just needs to be replaced...

for me, the clicking sounds always starts when i turn on the ignition...and then goes away after a few minutes, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter.... and you can distinctively hear it coming from somewhere in the dash/steering column

If it does it at low speed and more pronounced with turning the wheel- think CV joint
Check under the car for torn boot on CV= grease goes out- grunge goes in
