Question What can electric clicking sound behind F32 interior rear quarter panels be??

Long story short - got hit in upper DS rear quarter panel (right behind front door) in Sheetz parking lot by cargo van. No airbag deployment

Have a dent smaller than the size of a fist which can be removed by PDR

However, now I also have a faint electric 'clicking' noise coming from behind both interior rear quarter panels. Sounds kind like an electrical relay pulling in/out

Clicks on both sides, back n forth continuously while the car is driving, & doesn't go away till the car goes to 'sleep'. Can only hear when radio sound is off

Obviously, I could remove one of the rear panels & check to see which module located behind there is making the noise, but didn't want to touch anything b4 the body shop works on the car


As a side note, I also had the rear trunk bottom parcel shelf off, the module in cavity at left/rear is making a constant intermittent 'beeping' noise that seems to correspond with the clicking noise. The module contains a rechargeable battery under a cover on top

This may be normal IDK, since I never really had the panel off b4 and listened closely

This will be repaired under insurance, but was wondering if anyone had a similar problem & curious to know what it was???
