45e LCI Clicking sound when turnon the rear window heater

TLDR:
Does anyone hear the clicking sound of the relay when you turn on the rear window heating?

Background:
I have a G05 45e which was built this summer. The car is equipped with sound isolated glass, the B&W sound system. The cabin is very silent. It drives perfectly. The sound of the B&W is amazing.

Yet... When I turn on the rear windows heating I hear a loud click of the relay turning the heating on and off. This is very annoying. What I try to conclude is whether it is an isolation issue or there has been a "cheaper" relay.

My question to you: does anyone recognize the clicking sound when the rear window heater is turned on? Or is it silent in your car?

What you have is a 2023 model year, NOT LCI! LCI info hasn't even been officially released yet!
