clicking sounds from engine bay...

Hi all,
I poseted it before, but I haven't got any good answers.
so...clicking sounds from engine bay, I hear it mostly around Intake.
I don't hear this clicking sounds when I am driving, yet I definitely hear it at idle, and turn my key to the 'ON'( not start)
I just googled for any ideas, and people say that it can be related to fan belt or fuel injector...
anyone any idea??

Fuel injectors should just have one cycle of clicks when you turn the ignition to "ON" or start the car. They should not be repetitive like the clip you posted, so you should be able to rule that out.

So it makes that sound with the car off too? If so it sounds like the electrical starting up but something is wrong with it..... my car makes a sound like that when I first turn it on, but just for a split second

That is the weirdest thing ever.

There should be one "click" from the throttle body. I don't know what would be causing that machine gun noise. Good luck.

Does anyone elses power steering make a lot of noise? And I have a clicking noise coming from behind the motor by the turbo, I put my ear right above the heatshield and it's deff from that area, but i've only noticed it at idle, can't hear it from inside when driving unless sitting in the car at a stop.
