Clicking noise from front of car

[dicky ticker Dave]

We’ve had our MG trophy nearly a week now and are still finding out about the car. Went to get some touch up paint from Halfords 15 mile round trip getting home I noticed a clicking noise from the front . It sounds like a diaphragm type pump maybe for battery cooling? Is this normal?

I find there are all sorts of clicks and whirs from the front of the car, sometimes up to a couple of minutes after it's stopped.

Active front grille opening maybe. Could’ve also been the AC pump

My MG5 Trophy makes clicking, tapping noises around the windscreen area when starting off.
Other group members suggested it’s the scuttle panel (covers wiper motor) rubbing against the glass and is worse in cold weather.
As a result of the information I sprayed silicon down the gap, but it doesn’t seem to have made much difference.
