timing chain clicking??

When my 1994 900s 2.3 n/a is idling, I can hear a constant clicking sound when inside the car. The noise is:
-Coming from the glove compartment area or in front of that
-Very faint and not noticable when the radio is on
-Not affected by engine speed
-I suspect that it is clicking all the time, but I cannot hear it when driving due to other noises.
-Not noticable when I listen from under the hood
I know it is not the ventalation system fan b/c it clicks even when the fan is off. I am worried it is the timing chain and/or tensioner, but I would think I could hear it from under the hood? If it is the timing chain, how difficult is it to check it? Has the procedure been writen up before on this BB? Any other ideas? Thank in advance for any advice you can provide!
