Some cars have a separate starter solenoid. If this is the case, I am willing to bet that is the issue. If not, check the wires. You have a bad connection or a fried wire.
See a medical professional to determine if you have a problem.
This is called bruxing, and it has a similar meaning to a cat purring.
Probably it's a low battery, though it could be a bad starter. You are probably hearing the starter solenoid clicking.
Animals use noises to communicate with each other. Some animals use noises as a defensive warning when threatened. One example is the opossum making a clicking sound to ward off predators.
You need to check your starter or your starter selenoid.

It is likely to be the starter is not working.
The starter or solenoid are most likely bad. The starter assembly can be removed and put on a starter tester to see if its bad.
Cockroaches do not make clicking noises when held. However, there are some types of cockroach that makes hissing and stridulating sounds enough to scare a dog or anything that is trying to eat them.
my first thought would be to check the starter . if you can tap on the starter and it starts after that..you have a bad starter .
