Clicking sound from Dashboard

[Vigawla]

Anyone noticed slight clicking noises from dashboard? The sound is not disturbing at all but I'm wondering if it's unique to my car or not. It almost sounds like the dashboard is expanding from heat. Imagine someone slightly tapping the plastic on the dash.

It normally happens when I start the car and start to move. Recently as I was just driving, another car merged into my lane, then the ACC had to break. As soon as breaking began, the clicking sound occurred.

I hypothesised at one point that it was light icons flashing on the dashboard, but it doesn't seem to be this.

I hear that noise when I'm using ACC. I believe it's relays under the dash clicking on and off, related to supplying power to something involved in telling the car to slow down.

I reckon you're spot on, besides the noise occurring soon after startup, I notice it only happens when the ACC breaks now.

I don't have ACC and I hear that clicking from the dash left of the steering wheel after I start it up, I've just learned to ignore it as the dash does not communicate to me anything is amiss.

I am getting the clicking noises as well, difficult to tell where it’s coming from but seems to be coming from climate control system.

When your car is stationary, and you first start it up, do you hear it?

I know this is an older thread, but I'm hearing these clicking noises as well on my 2021 Hatchback Sport. I remember hearing them VERY rarely. In the past couple of weeks, it has gotten worse. Still not too loud, but with radio off, you can easily hear it. I've messed with having AC on/off, but it doesn't matter. Whether I'm driving, and AC is on or off, it still does it. Now I'd say 50% of the time I'm driving, it's making the noises.

I also have this issue but it comes from the right side of my dash. I meant to check the cabin air filter but it keeps slipping my mind. That’s around where it seems to be coming from for me, I tried some ~percussion maintenance~ and that seemed to at least quiet the noise down
