Often but not all the time I hear the rapid clicking sound when I turn my ignition key. I cleaned and replaced the battery terminals and the battery is less then a year old

Check battery connection is clean and tight, check that the starter terminals are firm, expecially the starter solenoid push on terminal, start here.
