A weak battery will make the "clicking" sound you hear, also bad connections, loose battery cables or worn battery cables. Jump start the car to see if it cranks, if it does, charge or replace battery.

Turn on the headlights try to start if the lights go off or go very dull the battery most likely is flat
If the lights stay bright, make sure the transmission is in neutral and the park brake is on.
Hold the key in the start position and let someone tab the starter motor with a hammer, often the tarter engaged, The problem in this case point to worn brushes.
Good luck

sounds like you need a new battery, it probably isnt running enought cranking amps to start your car, try a different battery and it should start fine

replace the starter relay located in the fuse panel in the engine compartment... i think on the volvo that would be near the firewall but look near the battery for the fuse panel
