Has anyone encountered a "clicking noise" coming from front or rear wheel area?

I hear a "clicking noise" coming from the front left and right wheel area while accelerating and decelerating at low speed with the windows down. Sound is faint or non-existent if windows are up or music playing. I have attached very short video of what I am hearing. Any thoughts?

oh wow that's loud, sounds like it's coming from inside the cabin, maybe the pedals? But you should still take it to the service center.
I had to take mine for a rattling noise (sounded like shaking a box of nails) on the right wheel area whenever I turned left and they found: "During the tightening on inspection of left suspension found left outer tie rod nut loose and not even touching tie-rod". They resolved the noise.

That sounds exactly like when they had to reapply lubricant to the suspension.

That's what I think too. "Clicking noise" getting more frequent and louder as the days go by. Wonder if all that rain we had in SoCal diluted lubricant? Have service appt at Costa Mesa on 6/17/23 to isolate and rectify problem. Will update site with further news.

If it's any consolation, I had this done 6 months ago and hasn't been an issue since.
 
Any update on how the Costa Mesa service visit went? Having what seems like the same issue on my Gravity (and this is following a few weeks of very heavy So Cal rain as well)
 
I encountered 2 types of "clicking noise" and attached the service invoices for further reference. Invoice #1 shows noise remedied either by replacing or adding "ting washers" to the affected area. Invoice #2 clicking concerns were remedied by replacement of "front caliper links". Both services were completed at the Costa Mesa Service Center and the "clicking noise" has been resolved and no further issues so far.

I have a 2022 Grand Touring and I don't know if these fixes will be the same for your the 2026 Gravity (John_Valentine). Costa Mesa service advisors are pretty easy to work with to rectify your concerns.
