engine noise
loud clicking sound when first starting car, stops when car starts. Have replaced the starter and solinoid, still makes the clicking sound. Where do I check next?

Battery.
Have it load tested. Don't rely on using an open circuit voltage test as an indicator to the batteries health. My 2 cents.

Did that before changing out the starter, battery is good.

If your battery is holding up to a load test, I would wonder about the health of the new/rebuilt/used solenoid that was installed.
If you bought the starter/solenoid from Auto Zone or one of the other mass marketer junk sellers, all bets are off. My 2 cents.

Okay.......you gotta be givin' us more info'..... Is it a loud clicking before the starter cranks.? Low amp's/volts. Is it a click while the starter is cranking ? Missing ring gear tooth. Is it clicking while you trying to find the ignition key hole ? Your drunk . ______________________________________________________________

Turn the key on, engage the starter and the clicking can be heard until the engine starts. Not the starter/solenoid, changed that out, not the battery, had that checked. How about motor mounts?

Yes, you changed the starter and solenoid, but how do you know with certainty they aren't the problem?
Clicking motor mounts??????
