clicking/ticking sound you’re hearing on cold startup from the passenger side

When I start my Emira on a cold day, I hear a clicking noise coming from the passenger side that sounds like it could be a relay or a switch. The noise continues for a few minutes before it goes away. Here’s a video— is this normal?
Thank You in advance

I get this from both driver and passenger sides at all running temps. Noticeable when stopped, not really when driving. Occurs constantly every few seconds. If someone has tracked down a fix/cause, would love to hear it!

this might be I4 specific but mine (when it was stock as well as now) makes all sorts of clicks, pulses, brief hums...the CAN system and all the modules in the car talk to each other and pretty chatty. Mine makes different groups of sounds depending on if it's in accessory mode, on, just turned off...if the fan is kicking hard when you turn the car off, and the of course the pump in the front to cool the turbo after shut down. Very chatty car, it all comes out in the speakers.

Not on my car, but another car I sat in had a terrible ticking noise from behind the driver’s seat that never went away. Dealers won’t be much help since they’ll just tell you that it’s “normal”. But yes this is common even in the emira

This click tick noise it’s not noticeable when you’re driving . Weird just wondering if this is normal .
