2 clicking sounds, every 16 seconds with my new RAM memory?

I had KINGSTON HyperX Predator (T2) 8GB Kit (2x4) DDR3 2400MHz, and I bought Kingston HyperX Savage DDR3 2400MHz 16GB (2x8), and System shows that I now have 24 GB of RAM, and it works perfect, but there s a clicking sound. Is there a way to fix this and can it cause any damagge to my RAM or not? Also with CPU-Z I ve checked and it says that RAM is running 3800 MHz, not 4800MHz and DRAM Frequency is around 1100 MHz.

    RAM has no moving parts, so the clicking sound is not coming from them. Most likely when you installed the ram you may have bumped a wire near a fan and it is making intermittent contact.
