Hello , In most probability you had any of your heart valve replaced with a mettalic one .
What you are hearing is the click of that valve . Generally a patient gets used to such sound . You just need to know that's it's a normal phenomenon and there is nothing wrong with your heart or you .
If it's very disturbing you may try a small dose of tranquiliser only after consulting your doctor .
Hoping I could help .
