It depends; where is the sound coming from?

-Dashboard

When the indicator is engaged it will make a clicking sounds as the wheel is turned. This is normal, it is the mechanism used to automatically switch off the indicator when the turn is complete. Could also indicate a problem with air-conditioning, tachometer or speedometer operation or any of the other moving parts back there. Could just be a leaf or twig stuck in the air system intake.

-Wheels

-When turning

Could be either a suspension problem or an issue with the rim of the wheels. Should be checked out quickly as it is a problem that could cause handling problems in an emergency.

-Driving straight

Could have the same causes as above but could also be caused by a loose item in the wheel arches.

-Under car

Could be an issue with any of the running gear such as drive shaft or anything else that moves under the car.

Whatever the cause, mention the clicking next time you get the car serviced, it could just be a loose wire hitting something which would cost nothing to fix. If it is something that could be more dangerous then you would feel happy to spend the money to get it fixed. Or so I assume.
