Click/Pop Sound in Dash

I own a 2015 RDX base and at times when I press on the gas pedal or the brakes pedal I get a click sound coming from my dash behind the infotainment system. The sound is similar to that of a house settling or the click of a second hand on a clock. It happens at least 2-3 times during my 45 minute commute. I wanted to know if anyone else has or is experiencing this. It is driving me crazy. When I asked the dealer I got the canned response that it is normal.

KD,

It's certainly NOT normal. Suggestion, take a passenger for a ride that mimics your commute so they can try to track the noise. Be sure to check your glove box and center console to be sure something in there isn't rolling around or bouncing creating the sound. If you're still under warranty it's the dealer's responsibility to fix noises that haven't been created by the owner.

Cheers

Thanks. It is like power is going to the dash. Like when an electronic powers itself on or off. It isn't terribly loud and if the radio was on super loud you may not here it be able to hear it. But it is loud enough to even if iI try to tune it out, I can't. Acura has not been very helpful.When I have brought up this issue and the iPhone issues I have been having they like to brush it off.

Sounds like a relay of sorts...

Got a video/recording of the sound by chance?
