Clicking Noise - 2014 E350

Occasionally I hear a short clicking noise which sounds as if it's coming from behind the dash. Any info is appreciated.

I have a similar type of noise on my 2010 E550. It is the climate control opening/closing for the windshield as the car gets up to temperature. Depend on how loud the radio is I sometimes hear it and sometimes don't.

I wonder if it's some ventilation control flap stepper motor and if some might be a bit noiser than others. Maybe compare to another vehicle.

Its a motor for sure, it seem to be dependent on how cold it is whether or not I hear it. Seems to be when it is really cold I hear it as the car is up to temp after running for about 10 mins. The sounds goes for about 5 move on and off then goes away when the car is fully heated. Haven't had the car in the summer to compare when running the AC
