Recently, when at idle after driving a few minutes, I hear a strange clicking or tapping noise when sitting at a signal (automatic transmission, in "D"). It happens at regular intervals, one click (or tap) about every 10 seconds, and it sounds like it happens underneath the car, around the area under the center armrest or the rear seat footrest area (in the center).

Not sure what it is, and doesn't seem to affect the car in any way other than the noise- anyone else have the same issue?

Yeah...happens sometimes....assembly line worker gets stuck under the console and wants to go home. Let him out near an airport, and you should be fine.

(No, actually don't have this noise...wonder if an exhaust bracket is expanding/heating up...similar to such noises you might hear in the garage from exhaust hardware contracting when cooling down after a drive?)
