Default Clicking Noises

Gabby is now making clicking noise while feeding (i notise it starting just before she went through her growth spurt - 6 weeks); i know clicking noises means she is sucking in air and therefore not feeding probably (she is still gaining weight, having enough wet nappies and urine is clear); i keep re-attaching her and different positions, even changing my position, but the sound continues; sometimes she will be sucking fine then the clicking starts, sometimes i've let the sound go and it stops other times it will keep starting and stopping. So any suggestions on the likely problem and/or possible ways to fix it? (i've also got nipple thrush)

Also Gabby is only drinking for about 10 mins (still at 2 to 3 hours apart with one big sleep and usually one 4 hours apart) is this ok? she use to drink for 20 mins although she does seem to be sucking more effectively despite the clicking sounds. She generally alert and playful (quite happy to play by herself for about 15 mins then she gets bored and needs something new to play with but will be happy again) and she seems to get frustrated/argry if i keep trying to get her to take more milk; often when i re-offer the breast she will attach and suck but once the milk comes she pulls off like she doesn't like the milk
