I have just noticed this noise yesterday. Turned on the car and heard a clicking noise. Drove for about 20 mins get off the freeway no more noise. Parked turned off the car then back on and no more noise. This morning it did the same thing.

I wold imagine under $200 it varies where you are located. I can't give you a specific price. It also depends on how many are bad and whether you have a constant velocity ujoint or not. Most places will tell you a price first.
