Vid of it

https://youtube.com/shorts/19QDGHCUcEw?feature=share

It happens when I first get into the car on a morning. Clearly to do with the climate control system. Could be one of the blend motors? Its actually a sport

I can't hear anything in the video but if I had to guess it's the fan inside the climate control module that blows air over the temperature sensor. You can try taking it apart, cleaning it, and putting grease on the spindle/bearing, but it won't make the noise go away completely. You could remove the fan entirely and live with slightly inaccurate cabin temps too I guess.

I can hear it very clearly (with headphones)
It reminds of a similar noise I have coming from "somewhere underneath, slightly behind the middle of the car".

Not meaning to hog your thread, but does anyone have any idea what that could be? It's a rhythmic sound, similar to the one mgrover has.

I haven't turned the car on yet or the fbh.

Just when unlock, open the door and step in. Its actually a sport

By climate control module you don't mean the blower fan that needs half the car removing to replace do you?

Or do you mean the panel itself. Its actually a sport

Turned up fully, not muted and still no sound track at all from that short, which is weird as I can hear this one, from my early fatty no problem...

Is this the noise...??

If it is then it's the electrically controlled flap that takes air to the rear central vent, if you remove the side panel from the centre console you can find it behind there, I just unplugged it, it then sent air all the time to the rear but that's not really an issue...

Nah that's not the noise. It's way quieter than your vid. It's defo on my vid but just really quiet. Its actually a sport

It could be one of the other flaps, take off both sides of the transmission tunnel, one torx 20 up high at the back and they pull off...

Then you maybe able to determine which one it is... if it is one...QQ Pete

I defo think it's an actuator.

I noticed when I ran the learn actuator limits on gap the noise occurs. Its actually a sport

Having had the same on 2 different cars my money is on the blend motor/actuator behind the panel by your left knee. One screw to remove the panel and the motor just snaps in or out. 5 min job. One i took apart, cleaned, and lubed and it cured the issue. The 2nd did not respond to cleaning so I swapped it for a used one.
