Strange clicking noise from side vents

I noticed some strange clicking noises coming from the extremities of my dashboard, at random times. Makes a sound similar to that one made by those huge, old-school, quartz wall clocks, (like you could find in a public office or a train station).

Tonight I was finally able to replicate the clicks. I went to adjust the in-cabin thermostat, and each turn of the temperature **** was followed by the strange click. Interestingly, it only does it when adjusting the temp down. The click seems to come from the side vents, like some actuators are trying to move the flaps or something.

I attach a little video I took. Lemme know what y’all think.

Edit: phone won’t let me attach the video. I’ll do it tomorrow from the computer.

I have it as well. I was told it’s the actuators being a bit louder then usual. But in perfect working order. I have had no issues.
