Why do i hear a clicking sound near my right temple whenever i chew on food specifically? is there a way to treat this or reduce the amount of noise?

It sounds like: you have TMJ Syndrome, where your TMJ is inflamed and comes out of its socket(hinge joint on jaw)when you chew. See a dentist for this. Eat soft foods.
