Default Weird?

Okay, so i test drove a grand am for my girlfriend yesterday, she didnt end up wanting it anyway, but now i cant get this out of my head. There was a clicking, sounded like it was coming from behind the radio, BUT it would only do it when the car was moving or just stopped. I asked the sales dude (he didnt look very car smart) and he was very confused. So I was wondering what could cause a noise like this. Just out of curiousity.

Mine used to make the same damn noise. But mine did it after i first started it and then eventually went away. I never could figure out where it was coming from.

an exhaust leak wont make a ticking noise.. if it is behind the radio, it might have something to do with the computer in those cars, maybe they are just noisy?

an exhaust leak will have a "ticking" noise if it's coming off the manifold... have u tried poppin ur hood, turning your car on, and giving it some gas? see if the noise is coming from there
