In my experience with the PS4 Pro disc drive, troubleshooting a clicking noise can be a frustrating task.
Troubleshooting Console Disc Reading
If your PS4 Pro disc drive is making a clicking noise when reading discs, it could be due to a dirty or faulty disc. First, try cleaning the disc and the drive with a soft cloth. If the issue persists, try resetting the console by holding down the power button for 10 seconds until it shuts off completely. You can also try rebuilding the database by booting the PS4 Pro into Safe Mode (hold the power button for 7 seconds).
If the problem continues, it may be a hardware issue and you should contact PlayStation support for further assistance.
