Typical Level-2 charging sound?

Using a Tesla wall charger with a Tesla Tap adapter. Does this sound normal?

When charging, the fans or HVAC could be automatically turned on and maked noise.

It's normal to hear HVAC noise while charging.

I could not play your clip…

I noticed that after posting. It’s just an iPhone video clip. Uploads without issue but won’t play again when I try it here. I’ll look to share it with this Reddit link…

Hmmm - that doesn’t sound normal to me

Interestingly, I heard a similar sound this morning and it was the first time I noticed that sound. I use the LCHS on a 100a circuit. Curious to hear other views.

The background whine sounds sorta normal but the intermittent scraping sounds do not.

My Air has produced that exact sound during 40A charging ever since it came back from its RDU-replacement service (~1600 miles). Prior to that, I never heard any sounds from the rear of the car during charging; only the cooling fans. Nowadays I hear that odd noise from the left-rear, and a different odd noise from the right-rear (rapid clicking sound) for less than 20 seconds after charging begins. The charging process itself hasn't had any faults/issues, so I haven't contacted service about it.

Someone on Reddit commented on my post noting it sounded like the coolant pump had air trapped inside. To my ear, that certainly sounds possible. Since then I haven’t heard the noise again. Worth noting, I launched the car twice probably 5 minutes before this video was recorded so maybe that has something to do with it.

Had my AT for almost a year and I heard something similar for the first and only time two days ago after plugging in. At the time the battery had the cold energy reduced message and I put it down to that. Didn’t do it yesterday when I charged.
