What Chris said if it's the tuners themselves that are clicking and not a noise coming from the nut slot with a pinched string it's tuner replacement time and it gets worse too. You can't buy two tuners you have to purchase and entire set.

If you bought the thing new I would make the case for a warranty replacement these are less than a year old.

Just make sure that the tuners are not coming apart and that the screw in the button is snugged down just to the point of a little stiffness in the tuner when you turn it.

But tuners go bad frequently, sadly and are often made poorly.
