A clicking noise from a hard drive is the the read write heads banging back and forth across the disk platters. This drive is faulty and needs to be replaced.
The data is not recoverable by normal means, if you are need to recover the data from this hard disk, there are companies that can recover data from faulty hard drive BUT it will cost you an arm and a leg for their services.
