Thank you. Just drove the car both easy and hard and put it back in the garage and noise is gone. I'm wondering though is this normal or do
I have to bring it in for service?

Yes, it has been discussed a few times, but I'm not sure anyone came back with a definitive answer. IIRC, all the threads just died out with a few assumptions left hanging.

Obviously it isn't something to worry about.
When getting older, creaks and groans pop out of the damnedest sources.
