Anyone know what this sound is?

At low speed, i’ve been noticing this weird metal clicking or creaking noise coming from the wheel well. It’s not always reproducible and it sort of happens randomly at low speed.

Here’s a video driving at low speed. It’s probably best to listen with headphones.


Here’s another video of the F15 parked with the engine off. At times the sound can be reproduced when “rocking” the car side to side with your arms.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue. It comes and goes, last time I tried to figure it out it vanished on me and was gone for quite some time but has recently reappeared. The first time I heard it I had a local indy take a look and they couldn't figure it out so I'm interested to see where this goes.
