The field terminal of the VR normally gets its power only when the ignition is on. You may be getting feedback from a defective alternator or wiring problems between the regulator and the alternator.

With the ignition off and a live battery connected, disconnect the voltage regulator plug. If you hear the clicking, then the problem is as described above. You will probably have to replace the regulator with the alternator.
