I would think it is the anti-reverse pawl. Some reels they do not have a "silent" anti reverse bearing, rather they have a ratchet pawl that clicks against one of the large drive gears, very similar to the locking pawl on your boat wench.
You can disengage the anti reverse and the spool will spin backwards to feed out line and the clicking should disappear when you reel in(or be very faint).
I have 4 Ultra light Okumas and one of them has started clicking when I reel in line. I have had it apart 3 times and I can't figure out why it clicks when the others don't.

A guide I hybrid-stripper fished with once used them. We were using 5 or 6" shad. He told us not to set the hook until it started moving the second time. The clicking let you know when the fish was taking line. We still missed several but also caught some really nice ones. He said the strippers would hit the bait to kill it before taking the whole bait into their mouths.

Exactly right....its to let you know when a fish is taking line

The clickers also make it easier to set planer boards out. You can set the clicker and set them with an open bail which lets you set another one without having to thumb the line.
