...so, when I was finishing off my wheel nuts today, I made a little 'click-click' noise with the final grunt. Is that acceptable?

I guess that depends if the wheels fall off or not. Or weather you can get them undone again next time.  Locking wheel nuts? Or is there honour amongst thieves round your way?

[minifreek]

The click click is metal on metal so yeah plenty tight enough... but it could also be your knees, its normally my back that makes noises like that when I stand up LOL

Best advice I heard was always put wheel nuts/studs on by pulling up, and undo by pushing down. Pull up as hard as you like, as tight as you feel comfy with, but that as you will always guarantee that they'll come undone again. 

The 'click click' in this case may well have been a camera lens shutter of a pervert hiding in the bushes taking shots of your rear end as you were bending over your car. Keep an eye out, there are bad people out there

Torque upto "just before you shit yourself" then another 1/4 of a turn

Other way round, always put on but pushing down as the torque is limited by your body weight, undone by pulling up as you use the power of your legs muscles which are capable of lifting your body weight and some.

But either way, unless you use the wheel brace that comes with the car, you may well struggle at the side of the road

Never used a torque wrench on any wheel nuts in my entire life, never had any problems yet.

Final last kick on the squeak seems to do the trick.

Take it to Quickflip , you will never get the nuts off again
