make sure your rear seats are correctly attached i've heard some people after putting them down not locking them back in place so they wiggle and make noise too.

Go through it with a torque wrench. Make sure you get there bolts on the top of the strut.

I was hearing a clicking noise coming from the front of my car. Turned out the bolt on the top of the strut wasn't locked down tightly. So that's something you might want to check out.

yeah there is a sticky now that I posted about "Chassis nuts and bolts" that detailed what all the torque settings were.
