Clicking Noise in a 1994 Saturn SC2

I bought this Saturn and the battery has gone dead twice, when that happened a clicking noise started coming from under the middle console. The person I bought the car from says it's because the battery is low? This doesn't make sense to me, no juice, no sound; you would think? Any help most appreciated. The car manual has no explanation. Thanks.

Earlier posters are correct. If your battery has gone dead twice it could be because the life of the battery is at its end and won't hold a charge or if it is a fairly new battery you have other issues as to why the battery is being drained of its charge.

The battery is not completely dead. The clicking is the starter solenoid. You need a new battery.

Are you sure about the location of the sound? I have had this problem with other cars and it was the starter solenoid (not sure of the spelling). I would check this first, given the age of the car.
