Clicking Noise... :(
When i started my 8 this morning i noticed a clicking noise it sounds like it coming from around the throttle body area but I'm not completely sure, i looked and couldn't see anything that looked unusual, when i step on the gas the clicking speeds up with the engines RPM's. Does anybody know what the problem is or might be...or had similar issues?

What he said^. However, if your plugs wires are on tight like mine are then it might be your throw out bearing from your clutch. One of our members had this issue and when he would step on the clutch it would go away.

Not sure how it came to be around here that when you step on the clutch pedal and the noise goes away, its the release (throw-out) bearing.
I see this comment all the time and don't know why (unless people just don't understand how a clutch works).
If the noise goes away when you press on the clutch pedal, it can be the pilot bearing, bushing, or lack of lubrication (even lack of lubrication on the throw-out bearing where it attaches to the release fork).
A truly bad/seized bearing doesn't make a click sound anyway. It actually makes a squealing/whining sound.
I recommend people read through HowStuffWorks on their clutch section:

It has some helpful diagrams to better understand everything.
Sorry for going off topic...

Just a suggestion, could you have "any" debris or a cut/nick on your Alternator or Compressor belt, that could be making a click as belt(s) go around??
ODDS are not this...just a suggestion...

Spencer...................wait till the car is cool and then get under there and see if it's the heat shield like someone said on your linked page. I'm assuming it does this 100% of the time?
It does sound like that might be it!

Come on jon316g you have to solve the "ticking sound" (search thicking sound).
Not trying to be a *** but this one has been around for sometime and the only thing people say is check your plug wires. But what happens when its not that? the threads fade a way and we dont know what it was cuz the owner takes it to the dealer and we never hear back.
