These are the most common causes (not all inclusive of course): Bad battery, battery cable(s), starter, starter solenoid, ignition switch, clutch switch, neutral switch, fuse(s), bad ground, battery terminal corrision. Start with cheapest move to the most expensive. No seriously, proper diagnosis will save you the most money and time. Get it to a certified mechanic, better yet an ASE certified MASTER mechanic will hit right the first time.
The clicking noise you can hear is the starter solenoid clicking into place. If the starter motor does not turn the engine immediately, it is probably the best place to look. it sounds like the starter motor is faulty.
You usually can suspect that the starter is bad if you turn the ignition key and nothing happens. You hear a clicking sound but the engine does not turn over. The dash lights should come on.

sounds like you have a bad ignition switch or a bad starter solenoid
sounds like your selinoid is bad. it might be separate from your starter or it might be attached. that means you can get a new one or try a new starter
Check your battery.
If you can hear your starter motor turning but not the engine you have some teeth missing on the ring gear. If you can hear nothing, not even the starter motor solenoid clicking into place, you have a connection problem between ignition switch and starter motor.
Often, you will hear a popping or clicking sound when you are in a turn.
if clicking but not starting dead battery if it starts it's one of the many relays that open and close during startup
may be a bad starter..... or if the engine is cranking with no start it could be the ignition wires
i have run into to this before and it was the 4 way flasher switch was bad
