Sort of reminds me of my Toyota Tacoma, when the locking mechanism in the doors move. It’s as if the grease or lubrication in the mechanism is worn away, and you get this slight metal on metal noise. It’s a very similar sound.

I hear this. Sounds like a brake-related rub. I don’t use the parking brake, but it seems like that’s where it’s coming from. It could also be just a pad barely touching the rotor. I haven’t been concerned about mine.

I do use my parking brake, and I notice a creaking noise as follows. I pull into the garage. I set the parking brake. I open the door and get out. I hear a creaking noise as the suspension unloads, captured in the attached video. To me, this is a different sound than what @RZdutty4 is hearing.

Interesting, yeah I use the parking brake Everytime, maybe I can see if it happens without setting it. My garage is pretty much flat so it should be fine

Do you still think your noise is electronic? Mine is definitely mechanical. I don't think it's the same thing, but this is only based on hearing your video clips.

Electronic if I were to guess, or maybe actuator or something
