The more info you give the better chance you have of getting an answer.

Status: offline 		the clicking noise sounds like it is coming from the engine and it happens everytime that you accelerate. it is a constant and continious noise so it keeps on going as long as you accelerate.

brittanym06's photo gallery 		Make sure there isn't a nail or rock in the tire. That could also cause a clicking sound...

But then again.....it could be more complicated than that.
If you wanted to be sure, you could go to autozone or advance auto parts and buy a PCV valve (around $3) and replace the old one with the new one to see if that resolves the clicking.
The PCV(Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve is an "L" shaped piece of plastic coming out of the valve cover with a hose attached to it.  On the VTEC 4cyl, it is located right above the "T" in "VTEC."  On the 6 cylinder, it is the only thing with a hose coming out of it on one of the 2 valve covers.  I believe it is on the front valve cover.

Status: offline 		it could be as bad as some random tranny issue, a cv joint issue, a rock in the tire, a brake problem or a wheel bearing.... if it's at a dealership why not just have them repair the issue prior to purchase?

Status: offline 		yeah, a rock or nail in a tire will make a ticking noise.

less commonly is loose axle nuts. the outer cv joint will make a single tick noise on take off or a change in direction and applying the gas. you can usually duplicate it by brake torquing the engine.

Status: offline 		What about the PCV valve guys?  You know when you pinch the hose coming out of the PCV with a pair of pliers it will cause a repetitive clicking sound.  That's why i suggested a faulty PCV or a clogged hose.

typicially pinching the hose causes a single click noise. i can see a repetitive click noise if the pcv valve is cracked or if you aren't pinching the hose completely... also a bad pcv valve rarely happens. to tell you the truth - i have never seen one go bad since 93 on the accord side. maybe i've just been lucky...:P
