these vehicles have the signal/hazard combo flasher in the middle of the dash just above the radio and ive replaced many of them for this problem...does the sound come from inside of vehicle? near the centre dash? thats it!

well, silly, your signal blinker is on!
Seriously... check to see if an electric fuel pump is cycling (does this happen when the key on or only when the car is running..if te car is running is it only moving, sitting still or no difference, etc,,.. you need to describe the problem better).
other possible things..
Electric radio antenna is cycling
emergency flasher is cycling
Got a CD or tape player?? Same possibility
best I can do with the little information you provided... sorry

First check your oil, Ticking most commonly is caused by overheating from low oil which in turn wears the valvetrain. also could be the timing belt slapping the timing cover if so equipped. Also it could be preigntion from carbon buildup in the combustion chamber, another common problem, it makes the heat and compression higher causing the motor to spark out of time and "pre-ignite" most commonly called pinging. get that checked out could be something that could blow your motor. good luck.

You may be hearing the hydraulic valve lifters clicking in the engine. They tend to start doing that after a while.

it could be a piston
it could be a rod tapping on the head
it could even be a fuel pump problem
