Do the clicks change with different revs or speed?

i have a weird ticking noise in my gti to.
except its just when i turn the ignition on.
its a cross between ticking and dripping and comes from the sounds of it near the passenger side of the car but under the bonnet.
can only hear it inside the car tho.
