Probably valve tappets/lifters/pushrods that have gummed up from dirty or overheated oil. Check the oil level and the color of the oil - when new it is gold colored, and when old it is black and sludgy.
If the engine is old and has not had oil changes at frequent intervals, there are additives available to correct the problem to some extent, ie, to get rid of the gummy sludge. Ask for advice at a reputable automotive store such as Canadian Tire, Napa or PartSource. Once the problem is corrected, be sure to change the engine oil at appropriate intervals.

What could be the cause of a ticking sound at startup on a 97 Plymouth Grand Voyager if the sound goes away after the engine warms up?
If the noise on occurs after the vehicle has sat for a while, it could be a hydralic valve lifter bleeding off. They tend to click for a while until the oil pushes all of tha air out. Maybe go to a lighter weight of oil. BG makes a product called MOA that has helped ease the clicking noise in vehicles I have worked on in the past. Take it easy until it warms up and even clicking it should last for a whole lot more miles!

What is the clicking noise coming from the glove comapartmet sounds like the turn signals but they are not onand the sound goes away when the brakes are applied?
It is your turn signal relay located behind the glove compartment. I have replaced mine and still had the same clicking/buzzing sound. It's most like your turn signal arm because it has a cluster of wires in there and they can't get loose.

The "clicking sound" is probably a circuit breaker. If so, you have a short, or overload, in the wiring somewhere.
