peugeot 307 - clicking noise - gvmllr001

hi all just a quick one..i have a pug 307 1.4 s...when the engine is running i can hear a ticking noise coming from the front..when i press the accelerator i can hear it most..it sounds like when you have something stuck on your tyre..i recently got a new backbox fitted and it didnt make this ticking noise before hand..im saying its from the front of the car but noise travels..could one of rhe tensioners be on its way out or the fanbelt..has anyone had the same problem that could enlighten me as to what it could be...many thanks..,

If the ticking is consistent with engine speed could well be a drive belt.
