I'm experiencing this odd tick tick sound in my nose quite frequently, and every time I hear it, it seems like my nose suddenly clears up, but I dont have a cold. Could this be a sign of something serious?

it's unlikely to be anything major. it may be sound of secretions moving in a narrow space of your nose. anyways for confirmation you can consult nearby ENT specialist
