Default dashboard clicking- electrical

Having electrical issue with 2009 corvette. When I get into car and close the door I get a series of clicking sounds from the middle of the dashboard. If I then press on the brake prior to starting the car I get another series of clicks. When shutting the car off I also get a series of clicks. This is definitely not the brake relay. However, if the car is off and I step on the brake I get a series of clicks that repeats if I let off the brake and wait a few seconds and then depress the brake again. The car runs fine and there are no other electrical issues. Any thoughts?

Normal. I get the same thing as did my Dad on his 07 vert.

It is all those 430 horses lining up to go.

It is normal, I assume, as my 2012 GS has exactly the same noises prior to startup every time.

Normal, in a sense it's an electric car.

Normal.
The clicking sound is the sensor looking to detect a key fob.....I believe.

Same here on my 07. The car has over 28 onboard computers. Get used to it.
