Yeah, more information would help, including which "oldish iMac" model, and which mouse you're using. I can't see anything in SysPrefs > Universal that might put in a sound on mouse click.
Try using your keyboard Cmd-~ to toggle between window or tabs, and Cmd-Tab to toggle between open applications. See if the noise occurs then.
Can you try a different mouse? Almost any cheap generic one will do.
