Default clicking noises

I am a new Grand Sport owner and am not used to noises I keep hearing. When I have the door open or am sitting in the car without the engine running, I hear a clicking noise behind the navigation area and down near the fuse area, and can hear a hum of a motor quietly running. Are these normal sounds or is something up?

Yea, they do that. Interestingly, not all of them are noticeable.

Mine does that too. I am curious to know what it's doing.

My '07 makes lots of different sounds for about 10 minutes or so after shutting it down. HVAC vents moving, various electronic sounds and other unknown sounds... it finally all stops on its own.

Since my orriginal post, I found out the clicking is the PAL system. Not sure why it does but it clicks away when the passenger door is open. I'm told it is normal.
