Sounds like its probably a relay clicking which means its working so wouldnt worry unless something goes wrong!!

I have the same car with the same problem. Before you start the car turn the heater temperature gauge round to hot then start it and it shouldnt click. I know this dont solve the problem but im guessing its the fan getting stuck on something when starting the car with the heaters round to cold.
