Lightning makes knocking/clicking noises when parked in my garage

[chickenlives]

My Lightning makes knocking/clicking noises when parked in my garage and locked. The noise is similar to (but not exactly like)doors locking. I'm wondering if its the battery. Doesn't sound like rodents because the sounds are fairly consistent. My Tesla makes knocking sounds when charging at a super charger. Other owners have experienced the same and attributed it to the battery getting hot and expanding.

Anyone else experiencing this?

might be a contactor engaging., does it always happen or only when you start charging? mine does make some click and clack noises starting charging and then a kind of hum.

Mine makes periodic clicking, it's the contactors in the battery pack activating, to charge the LVB or engage level 2 charging when it's plugged into the FCSP, which also makes its own set of clicks when the 240 circuit is opened/closed to the truck.

My truck is not plugged in while making these noises.

Right, in that scenario the HVB contactors periodically activating.
