Clunk noise

Anyone else hear a semi-loud clunk after starting the car for a minute and after shutting off the engine? I can try to record a clip if this isn't normal. Btw, I have the adaptive headlights, don't know if that's the cause of it.

Is the sound coming from the front or the back of the car? There is an exhaust valve in the left tail pipe that can make that sound about a minute or two after start up.

I heard it's pretty normal every now and then... Obviously not everyday

Yeah that happens to me when I first start the car and am usually reversing. I've read enough places it's pretty normal.

The exhaust valve is the culprit?

After starting the car first thing in the morning just go to the left exhaust pipe and after 30 seconds or so listen for the click - sounds like a refined mechanism and not a loose part.
