Default Clicking shifter

Just bought a 07 c6 with 16,000 miles on it. A very clean car but my one concern is the shifter. Each time I shift I hear a single click in the shifter. The shifter works perfectly fine. It would sound like someone taking two rods and hitting them together just once. No rattle. Any ideas?

Is this an Automatic or Standard? Can you provide a video of this noise?

Standard. I will try a video but not sure if it will be heard.

I am thinking that the noise you are hearing (if coming from the shifter area itself) is most likely normal. You could potentially have worn bushings in the shifter box but I would think this to be unlikely at that mileage.
