I was going to suggest the exactly what Mike mentioned. It's usually when
you've had the speedometer cable disconnected recently. Sometimes when you
reconnect it, the cable isn't happy with the angle. Take the cover off for a
while and when it clicks, reach down to the speedometer cable and adjust it
up or down until the noise goes away. May not get it the first time but
eventually you'll find an angle it's happy with.
