Question Clicking Noise Coming from Front of Interior, Driver's Side

Hi all,

Also posted in W205 forum: I have this clicking noise coming from the front of the interior, driver's side. I wanted to see if anybody knew what it was prior to sending the following video to my service advisor (in order to hear it best, turn the volume up and go to about 30 seconds -- it's louder in person than it is on the phone -- at least to my ears). It does not matter whether the engine is running (e.g. auto start-stop or not), Distronic on/off, audio on/off, etc. I moved the camera around while it was going on to try to figure out where it was loudest. I'm thinking somewhere right by the instrument cluster or that left vent?

Thanks in advance for any help/ideas as to what this could be.

I heard that noise in my car too, I thought some little critter got up in my vents or engine bay but I think it is just the fan motor adjusting.

Happens in Auto climate control setting right?

I only keep my car on auto climate control. I'm going out later and will turn off auto, then turn off climate, and see if it continues to happen in either. It's weird because the fan speed doesn't change, and it only happens on the one side. Will find out soon...

Thanks
