For cybertruck, Is this rear mechanical clicking/clunking motor sound normal when approaching with my phone?

Hey everyone, this is my first Tesla, so I’m not entirely sure if this is just how it’s supposed to be. I took delivery of my Cybertruck earlier this month and have been noticing a specific sound. I initially thought it was normal so I didn’t pay much attention, but now I'm curious. Anytime my phone is in my pocket and I walk into the garage, I hear a mechanical clicking/clunking motor sound coming from the back of the truck. It seems to indicate the truck is waking up or unlocking. Is this mechanical clunking sound is expected behavior?

It's probably the car waking up and the batteries starting to expand. Can't speak for the Cybertruck but my 3 "clunks".

Yes, its the contactor operating and waking up the car. Very normal. My MXP does this as well

Waking up the car for sure.
