I'm sorry about the clicking but it happens whenever the page refreshes.
Here's what it is and a solution to the problem. I do hope they issue a patch on day. Hope this solution helps.
Internet Explorer Clicking Sound…
Many websites that have been designed to continuously monitor specific events use an automatic refresh to ensure the most recent data is visible. This is usually accomplished either through a REFRESH META tag in the HTML header, or by using JavaScript to set an elapsed time after which the page is refreshed. Other more complicated and sometimes less desirable methods use Flash or Java applets to continuously access data directly from the database.
An often annoying side effect is that Microsoft Internet Explorer (at least on Windows platforms) makes a clicking sound at every refresh, the same sound made when clicking a hyperlink or pressing a form button. Refreshing a web page every five seconds could become the modern-day equivalent of Chinese water torture.
To remove the sound, open your Control Panel. On Windows 95/98/2000, doubleclick on the “Sounds and Multimedia” icon and choose the “Sounds” tab. On Windows XP, doubleclick the “Sounds and Audio Devices” icon and choose the “Sounds” tab. On Windows NT, just doubleclick the “Sounds” icon. From here, the instructions are the same for each of the above operating systems. Scroll down in the “Sound Events” window until you reach the “Windows Explorer” section. In this section there is a “Start Navigation” option to assign sounds to. In the “Name” Drop down menu select “None” and then hit “OK”.
