It is either:

1. a dead battery, due to:
a) a shorted cell
b) charging system fault

2. loose/corroded battery terminals, preventing sufficient amperage to
the starter.

Solutions:
1 a) Replace the battery
1 b) get the alternator/regulator checked out

2 Clean the terminals and apply anti-corrosive (available in auto
stores) and tighten the terminals.

Definitely not. It is your solenoid that is causing the clicking noise

cheers

Low voltage to the solenoid will also cause it not to function properly.
