Never heard a clicking noise with mine in over two years, and trust me, I would have noticed. (My wife claims my ears are bionic, I'll hear a rattle, tapping, and other noises in any vehicle.)

I do occasionally hear the brake pads lightly scrape the rust off the rotors, as regenerative braking only works moving forward, and the truck uses the actual brakes in reverse. - After a wet day, you'll hear that during the first stop or two, usually backing of the driveway. (Happens on most vehicles if you pay attention.)

Is the clicking up front? - My speculative guess would be possible half-shafts, especially if the wheels are turned at all. Haven't had half-shafts yet, nor any of the symptoms, however I'm below 10k miles yet on my '23.

Check that your wheel weights, if they're on the inner surface of the wheel, are not loose or double-stacked and hitting on any brake component or dust shield.
It happens. Easy check.

Thank you for the ideas, but I have an appointment at the Ford dealership tomorrow morning. I'll let you know what they say.

The noise is an alarm for people who are nearby 'cause it is silent in reverse.
