Default Clicking sound from engine - Not Valves

I remember seeing a post about this but I couldnt find it.

Basically, I hear this ticking noise in my engine bay but its not coming from the valves.
Its coming from this thing that sits right under the plastic cover that covers the intake compartment.

here is a pic. Not my pic, I happen to ****** this from one of our members ( sorry, and thanks )
