Apologies for taking so long.
I would recommend to anyone doing this to set the start up programs to alphabetical or some sort of order first, before trying to do this, as i just lost where i was and had to start over again.
Anyway, almost there @richc46. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inc. Studio 1555 OS Windows 7 Professional 32-bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P8600 @2.40GHz Memory 4096 MB RAM Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series Monitor(s) Displays Laptop |

Eureka!
All Startup programmes are off, apart from this virginmediahub.exe, and the clicking sound is happening.
What now? Unistall the software? Or disable the start up? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inc.

Could you have a slight amount of corrosion or dirt in the jack ends. Have you tried mating and unmating the jacks and using air or cleaning with Caigs gold. caig.com - Home of DeoxIT - CAIG Laboratories, Inc. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck, ask me about rig #2 !

If you do not want the software unistall using a System Restore point first, just in case
If you think you may want it just leave it off the startup list. Im glad for you, buddy. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 |

It is something to do with my ISP, so I will keep it, but have de-activated it on startup.
I have restarted my laptop with it de-activated, and there is now no clicking! 
Thanks Rich! | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inc. Studio 1555 OS Windows 7 Professional 32-bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P8600 @2.40GHz Memory 4096 MB RAM Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series Monitor(s) Displays Laptop |

Thanks Rich!  Just curious, is that a wired or wireless connection?
Also, often when using a laptop with external speakers/stereo the noise problems stem from a ground differential that tends to amplify any of the computers internal electronic workings.
Does the same click occur when running on battery power?
