Default Door is Clicking

Okay I just noticed this the other day, and it was more apparent yesterday but I can't quite figure out what's going on.

When I walk up to my car, and I hit the unlock button on my FOB, the doors make the usual sounds of unlocking, but then my passenger door gives a little extra click afterwards. I opened my door and hit unlock, and I heard the click sound like it was coming from the area of the fuse box.

Does not make this noise when I hit the lock button, or on the driver's side. Only the passenger side, when I hit unlock.

Anybody?

`Mike maybe it could be a bad Door Lock Actuator
Could be wearing `out ? Sticking ?

I thought it was the lock myself, but it unlocks no problem, and the noise doesn't come from that end of the door.

I would say that the best thing to do is take off the door panel and see if you can recreate the sound again and see if you can hind it then.

Well so far, I haven't heard it clicking anymore. Maybe there was just some dirt somewhere. Thanks for all the suggestions, if I hear it again I'm going to rip the door panel off right away while it's making the noise though
