If it's that cylindrical-looking thing with the electrical connector on top and the two fat rubber hoses on the bottom, and it only ticks when the engine is running, that's the purge valve. It's part of the evaporative emissions system. Leave it alone. If the noise is really bothersome you can try replacing it. With the hood open you'll probably always hear it though.
