  Click consonant
Clicks are inherently stop-like or affricate-like depending on their place of articulation: clicks involving an alveolar or palatal closure are acoustically like plain stops, while bilabial, dental and lateral ones sound more like affricates.
Clicks are in all the Khoisan languages of southern Africa and in the neighbouring Nguni languages (Zulu, Xhosa, etc.) of the Bantu family, which borrowed them from Khoisan (there are some 80 languages in both groups).
The five clicks specified in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) are the bilabial click ʘ, the dental click ǀ, the alveolar lateral click ǁ, the palatal click ǂ, and the postalveolar click ǃ.

Bilabial clicks may be either oral or nasal, which means air is allowed to escape either through the mouth or the nose.
Glottal consonants are consonants articulated with the glottis.

 Click consonant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Clicks appear more stop-like or more affricate-like depending on their place of articulation: clicks involving an apical alveolar or laminal postalveolar closure are acoustically sharp like plain stops, while bilabial, dental and lateral clicks have an acoustically noisier sound, and sound more like affricates.
Clicks occur in all the Khoisan languages of southern Africa, and in several of the neighbouring Bantu languages, such as Nguni (Zulu, Xhosa, Swazi, Ndebele), Yeyi, and Sesotho, which borrowed them from Khoisan languages.
Clicks also occur in Sandawe and Hadza, two languages of Tanzania traditionally classified as Khoisan, as well as in Dahalo, an endangered South Cushitic language of Kenya.

 Bilabial - KutjaraWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Bilabial consonants are those articulated between the two lips, either by closing them together, as for the bilabial plosive and bilabial click, or by touching them together without complete closure, as for the bilabial fricative and bilabial approximant.
The class of bilabials also includes a trill, formed by vibrating the lips against each other, and a percussive, formed by tapping them together; this is the sound made when blowing someone a kiss.
Bilabial sounds are found in almost all natlangs, although there are exceptions, such as Mohawk and Tlingit.

 LINGUIST List 6.1158: Click, Glamour, Ling for teens, Models of perception
The fact that there's low oral pressure in the click seems to be viewed as a phonetic fact more than a phonological one by many phonologists.
But that has a potential problem with the bilabial click, since the labiovelar stop [kp] is also just [Labial,Dorsal].
If any language has both [kp] and a bilabial click, some additional feature is needed.

 LINGUIST List 7.1545: South-East-Asian lang's, Corpus development, Clicks
In the European languages, clicks are used non-phonemically, as "affective" sounds.
There is one click I'm familiar with in that context, "clacking with the tongue", for want of a better term, that doesn't seem to fit in the above IPA classification.
It might be called a click affricate, or cluster, because it starts with the !-click (or the -click?), but an important acoustic effect ensues when the tongue "flaps" against the lower teeth or jaw, the place where the tongue rests.
