Default clicking noise when driving on cold start

whenever I drive my car after a cold start (morning or after work) it will making a clicking noise as soon as i hit the throttle. At first I assumed it was rocks flicking up under the car but it does that every time. I drive really lightly and baby the warm/start up. Is that noise normal or should I have it checked? I had my oil change recently and forgot to ask them to check and they didnt say anything about it.

A recording or video of the sound would help the dealer and here.

I have that too when I have adaptive cruise control with stop & go and active lane assist enabled. Assumed it was some motors/actuators in the flooring doing their part. 😋

2 quick clicks around 25mph? Normal behavior, just the ABS/Traction Control initializing.

It's your ABS starting up, you'll feel it/hear it right before 25mph or around that.
