noise (like clock ticking) near speedometer when car is accelerated from 0 to 20 mph
i have 2020 accord 1.5 . 3k miles and 5 months old.From day 1 i have noticed that:
1) when i accelerate the car (normally and very gently accelerate) , noise(low pitch) , like clock ticking or like plastic gears moving. comes out of the area where speedometer/tachometer is when the car reaches 20mph. After 20mph, the noise goes away
i am wondering as the tachometer is digital what is this noise and where does it come from and what does it mean.
the noise is like when plastic gears start to move and make tick tick sound
i am confused

The speedometer is also digital, so that's not it.
Does the tapping increase with speed? Does it change when turning?
My guess is some solenoid valve in the engine compartment making its normal sound. For example the EVAP purge valve.
Your car is so new, that you should be able to go to the dealer & ask them. Maybe drive another Accord to compare.
