What is this sound

Does anyone have a guess as to what is making this noise? It only happens once when things have heated up. Any suggestions will help as the dealers last attempt to fix it wasn't successful.
Thanks

Suspension.... Could be the shock piston or suspension bushings.

Check your sway bar links. If they get play in them they will make a clunk noise.

Sounds more like a squeak though. Like new tires on a shop room floor.

(a)'12 C63 P/P, LSD, 19" m/spoke,comfort pack. (b)Astra SRI.
Question

"Rattles", "Noises", "Creaks" etc....yeah, there seem to be a few in the C63 don't there.
I've got this "vibration", in the centre dash/ A.C. vent area, which seems to come & go.....it's not bad enough for me to get the Dealer to look at it, as I don't want them to, as some-one else once said on here, to "take the knife" to it, as I might subsequently end up with more "noises" than I started with.
Cheers, Pickles.

I must say, I don't have a single rattle in my car.
