Mine definitely makes a noise sounding like something metal tapping against glass, but there isn't any. I have no idea how he's producing the sound, but my betta does it a couple of times a day.

Found this info on why bettas click, its all i could find on the subject so perhaps this answers the question...

Sometimes they get bored and suck on an air-bubble for entertainment. If they are especially talented they can create enough of a vacuum to cause a slight clicking sound which may be amplified by the glass container. Sound travels faster underwater than in air and....well...that has something to do with it, but I can?t remember.

Interesting. Nice to know when you have to change something in their tank to amuse them!
