This prob has been with the car since I got it. You press the brake pedal, and when an electric circuit is formed for the brake sensors and I would guess rear brake lights, I hear a clicking sound from the passenger foot well. Its like a microswitch or electronic actuator click. Do all you guys have this sound?

it's the brake light circuit switch, up above the shin/knee panel....

if you are 100 per cent sure it comes frm the pasengers side you may find that you have the rhd model where the brake pedal has a thrust rod that goes across to the lhs of the car and the brake light switch sits behind the glovebox
I found this out when i went to replace my brake light switch

Mine does it too!!! Its kinda annoying, and I guess if you REALLY hate it, you could wrap the switch/relay in something to quieten it... Too much work I think!! Silent indicators would be very cool too!!

And then...

Yeah that's normal.
Remember you a driving a car originally engineered as a L/H/D vehicle with but with some controls operating 'remotely' from the opposite side when produced in a R/H/D configuration. The brake pedal for instance!
