clicking noise (like a relay)

When my car is in park and I step on the brake pedal I hear (and feel) a relay sounding click within the center console area. Once I am in drive the click doesn't happen, only when I am in park.

Anyone know what this is? It just started this morning.

Thanks!

Its the relay to let the shifter out of park when the brake is depressed.

Thanks.

Should I be concerned that it's suddenly this loud? Maybe will fail soon?
