Because I have separate / and /home partitions, should I check both of

Just check the HDD, not a partition.
e.g.
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda
or
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb
and _not_
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda1
or
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb8
OK, I will try this when/if I have this click problem again and post my
results to this form again.
You should run it automatically at startup and write it to a log file,
e.g.
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda > /var/log/smartctl-a.log
And after a click noise run it manually and compare what's different.
