Is this coming from the engine? If it is it sounds like you might have some lifter problems. Or the worse part is if you have a rod knocking. Intrepids did have some egine problems.

When you hear a knock at the door but there is nobody there does that make you insane?

It does not necesarily mean you are insane. Sometimes, noises around your house can resemble the sound of the door being knocked. At other times, immature children - or even immature adults - may knock on the door, and simply run off, just for a laugh. Sometimes, if you have a habit of tapping without realizing it, you may end up tapping on a wood surface, and think it was the door, not realizing it was you.

What does it mean when your ford wind star makes a clicking noise when you go to start it?

It means your sulinoid is bad. Is part is sometimes built in the starter or separate under the hood. Likely under the hood, mounted to the passenger side wheel well somewhere. Sometimes it will do this because of corrosion on the battery. Or a bad starter. You can try tapping the sulinoid or starter temporarily but it won't work for long.
