start with premium gas or injector cleaner, could be a low octane ping. this may be hard to diagnose with out hearing the noise so the other thing i would have you do is remove the belts and run the engine. sometimes when a bearing in an alternator, idler pulley, a/c compressor or belt tensioner goes bad they can make a clicking noise. try to listen if the noise is coming from the belt area, the transmission area or some other spot. spin all the pulleys with the engine off and wiggle them to see if any are bad
Your noise sounds like it is power train related,If you have eliminated the engine,Since it doesn't make the noise while moving and in neutral. It sounds like a universal joint in the drive shaft.Do you notice a vibration along with the noise?
sounds like your CV joints are worn out. If the clicking noise gets worse when turning then its a definite possibility. Also check the CV joint boots for splits as this can quickly wear them out. The dust mixes with the grease to form a grinding paste.
That clicking noise could be a rod bearing starting to go. I had the same issue and the fuel injection system leaked into the engine oil below, thinned out the oil and I threw the main bearing and 3 rod bearings. Feeling really stupid as I have now changed the engine out and have a problem with electronics. Anyway, check your engine oil for metal shavings and rub it between your fingers. If there is a silvery cast to it inspect the inside of the fuel delivery system. If the nylon hoses are leaking and the inside of it looks wet or looks like there is gas leaking, I'd change the spider injection system. Autozone sells the kit for $275. It aint cheap but cheaper than a new or used engine. I'm up to $800 already and still having bugs to work out. My car had that same ticking noise and by the time I found out what was causing it, it was to late. Wish I would have known... Good luck
