Weird clunking sound

I have noticed the past 2 weeks that I have a weird clunking sound at 10 mph. It is present when accelerating past 10 mph and then again as I hit 10 mph when accelerating. It comes from the back of the car(GLC63S Coupe) and sounds like maybe a valve in the exhaust system or almost identical to the backup camera opening and closing. This occurs in all driving modes.

Anyone have a clue what this is?

Did you check rear seat belts? There is a place to store the buckles while not in use. There have also been some damper failures?

Not seat belts, loud mechanical sound almost like the sound they make when shifting at WOT.

Describe what you mean by Damper failure.

With great power comes great responsibility. You and all the "heavy wallets" wanted to be 0.4 seconds faster than us "pleebs" with the TT/V6 counterpart.

Brought my 18 GLC 63 coupe in for it's first A service and had them check for clunking in rear suspension area...turns out both sway bar ends links needed to be replaced...I have lowered the car by 1" in the rear with obd2 module but returned it to stock for service.
still deciding whether to lower it or leave it stock height after repairs

Mine was only when it accelerated to 10mph or decelerated to 10 mph. It went away on it's own about 10 days ago.

That's a fast wear out on the sway bar links.
