Dynamic Seats

My dynamic seats make a solenoid (click click) sound. It's faint and both seats do it,although not at the same time,but in rhythm. You can hear it with ignition on and radio/A/c off. Dealer says it's normal. Anyone have the same noise? Car is an 05.

I haven't noticed anything like that. When exactly does it happen ? I always have the drivers side on and occassionally use the massage as well.

Dosen't matter if the seat(s) are on or off and it's always there. I first noticed it when I was setting my clock back to standard time.You will not hear it with the radio or a/c on,it's pretty faint. It's almost as if the seats are talking to one another. It's comming from the backs of the seats and sounds like a solenoid working. The driver seat makes a click-click then after a five second or so pause the passenger seat makes the same noise. It's like they are in a loop or something.

I hear this sound in my car, I thought it was the speakers, because it seemed to go from front to rear as well as left to right, and is very rythmic. I asked my wife if she heard it and she said she thought it sounded like it was coming from the seats. Doesnt sound annoying or abnormal or anything, it kinda sounds like very important high tech stuff is going on,,,
