I agree it's crack, split somewhere.

Remove the blade and check it. Also check the guide bearings, top and bottom. If one is seized up that could be the problem. If one seized up for a short time and then somehow freed up, it may have a flat spot like a grocery cart.

Mine was making the same clicking noise... a guide bearing had a chunk 1/4' x 3/8" break out/off... flat spotting is a great description.
I had the same clicking noise on a DeWalt porta band. Blade didn't wobble though. Changed blades no difference. I took it all apart and found nothing I would consider a problem. Put it all back together and knock on wood haven't had the problem since the. So long story I have no clue! LOL
