Strange noise when unlocking the car

Hello! I experience a weird noise when unlocking my gle53 coupe 2024. It is followed by some popping sound for some seconds. Does anyone know what could be? Thank you!
I uploaded a video below.

I'm not going to sign in to a new service that I'm not familiar with.
Can you upload a YouTube video?

Didn't click link either, but touching the door handles wakes up the car and air suspension/self leveling along with a bunch of relays and electronics.

I downloaded the video, sounds like something clicking or using a stick going over a bicycle wheel.

Thank you for the replies. I uploaded a video on youtube
This sound persists even when I turn left at low speed ( both direct and reverse ).

I watched/listened to the YouTube video.

I agree that the car makes a series of clicks etc when you approach it - aka waking it up.

But I think the sounds in the video are more extreme than the normal wake up sounds.
New sounds for me.
