No. Clicking is not normal. For this car, the ABS sensors at the wheels have no physical contact with anything moving. The sensors read an encoder on the wheel to determine if the wheel is still moving. If you hear clicking with new breaks, something is wrong with the brake install. Have it looked at immediately.
