A clicking bridle is usually from the loop around the bridle strap
tapping against the backcheck wire to the right of the bridle.  This
is solved by bending the bridle wire slightly to the left.  It can also
be clicking against its own backcheck wire.  In other words check to
see what the bridle wire is clicking against.  It is not likely just
clicking cloth against metal.
