Explain what you mean by “when car is on stop”. And by “worst when it’s up hill” do you mean the sound is loudest when you are driving up a hill, or when stopped or parked facing uphill?

Very loud clicking sounds with the engine running only when facing uphill make me think of a problem with the radiator fan. Or something has come loose in the engine compartment and is moving and interfering with a pulley or belts when the angle is right. One time the plastic bottle that hold the windshield washer fluid came loose on my car and made a huge racket when it touched the alternator pulley.
