Hi All, recently took delivery of the vehicle and has anyone have any issues behind the driver's seat where you get occasional ticks as you either accelerate or decelerate throughout your drive? For some reason - it only seems to be happening when it's either on Quiet / Normal exhaust mode - don't seem to have the same when it's in Sports mode (haven't tried the ultimate mode yet as I'm still running in). Definitely not drowning the sounds as it's inside the vehicle as it's very apparent. Thought it could just be the interior panels, but searching through forums from other countries, it could be the lug nut, seat rail, etc... Thought I'd get the experts' advice in case anyone has had a similar experience.

Otherwise will need to get the kid to sit in the back and tell me where it's coming from :D

Sure it’s not the exhaust actuators?
Put the rear seat down and see if it’s worse.

Thanks for the suggestion @tuf50L - didn't even think about it as it sounded like it was more an internal tick / rattle, but now that you mention it - could be.

Will give that a go this weekend!

No dice. Had the rear seat down - definitely wasn't the actuators, and definitely not the seat fan. It's definitely coming from the door / B pillar area - but inside the car itself. I guess I will have to wait till the first service once run in to see if the dealer can zoom in on it.

Appreciate the assistance!
