The car is a 2019 GT, with stock engine, transmission and exhaust. On key on (or engine start), this noise can be heard. It sounds almost like some fairly hefty plastic getting hit by something, and can be heard from the passenger compartment (but not in the engine bay if the engine has started).

Is the person in the boot not dead? Seriously, that freaked me out. Was listening for something else but sounds like someone bashing part of the interior with their fist?

It really does sound like that from the passenger compartment. It sounds like it's coming from the front-most part of the tunnel, but that is only a guess

Sounds like something is stuck and attempting to reposition itself like when you adjust your door mirror glass with the button and it gets to the end of the travel and just clunks, maybe heater controls that switch between face blowers, windscreen or feet etc? Worth having a fiddle with those? Either way I’d be taking it into a dealer!

I remember my mom's edge making that kind of a noise before, it was whatever you call the part of the HVAC system that switches which vents blow out air. It got stuck and would only blow air on the feet until it got fixed.

Is it the active exhaust valve throwing a fit ?

Mine sounds a bit like that, but only does it once when the valve re positions on ignition on.

Doesn't sound like the exhaust but what about the Climate system which is all just under the dash behind the centre console

I think it must be all the car's awesomeness trying to get out of start up....
Seriously, I think I'd want a grown up to have a look at that.

We have a confirmed answer: Actuator for the vents in the climate control has thrown a tantrum

Well, I have an update on the noise: It has stopped as of this morning, largely due to the fact that everything involved has fallen into the driver's foot well. On the plus side, the car was already booked in to go back to the dealership in a few days, and now nobody will have to spend ages trying to work out what bit of the climate control system is making the noise...
