I start my car and from under the hood in the vacinity of the alternator comes a clicking or some similar noise. When I run my lights or anything else electric the noise gets louder. All the gages are fine. Have any of you had this problem or know what it is?

Probably an impending rear alternator bearing failure. Get a stethescope on it.
