Clicking noise before starting

I have a 2008 Outlander XLS. Never stood outside the vehicle before starting it until someone else started it for me the other day. I noticed that when the ignition is turned on just before cranking the vehicle I hear a click click click click noise which almost sounds like the injectors are firing up. It stops after 5 seconds or so. Is this normal?

08 XLS would have the 6B31 3.0L. I've never noticed the ticking, but I'd assume fuel system priming.
Only other thing that'd click rapidly would be the starter if the battery was low. If you have the OEM battery, you might want to check the fluid level to make sure you aren't low on water.
