The clicking noise is from the striker sear sliding off the trigger sear. When the Sigma/SD is de-cocked the striker sear rests on top of the trigger sear. When pulling the slide back the trigger sear pops up slightly (this is the click noise) now the sears are face to face and is cocked.

Now I'm not sure of the SD, but the Sigma has a hole in the backing plate of the slide. You can use a small flashlight to observe this action.
