The first thing I'd try is a hair dryer blowing low heat around it for an hour or so, to eliminate damp.

 

What is the state of your engine’s tune ?

Have you checked the state of the cap, rotor arm and cables it could be a failing component and what you are hearing could be the high voltage arcing across something.

If you check either at night or in low light it would help external arcing but if it in the distributor then close inspection might real some signs.
