GT3 engine break-in

Does your 4.0 Clip in Throttle Tip in?
Question for good ears. During my break in (I’m at 500km right now) when I step on the throttle, I hear a CLICK sound right at tip in of my foot going down. It sounds exactly like this GT3 at 1:24 seconds in this video. I am therefore assuming this is normal. Anyone else notice this?

I remember back in October 13 I just couldn't stand it any longer, couldn't find a low mile or CPO 997 GT3 anywhere, only 997 GTS's so I went out and bought a 14 Carrera S. In fact, I don't think the 991 Turbo had even been released yet. I was so excited that I found a stripper S. Only options were PDK, sport chrono and sport exhaust.
I kid you not I was at the bank down the street from the dealership picking up the cashiers check and a brand new black Carrera S goes by the bank at 8k rpm to the Shell gas station that dealer uses to top off the fuel when selling a car.
WTF I thought. We talk about all of these break in miles and being religious about this and that and have no idea what happened within those 2 to 4 miles on the odometer. You can smack the rev limiter on any car with 1 mile on it.
The truth is worrying about all of this is just not necessary. I digress it's ok for those of us who still want to be religious about warming up and breaking these cars in but unless you have knowledge of the entire mileage of a car from .1 miles or KM how do we really know??
Enjoy and drive in good health.

To each is own but 1500 miles = oil change. I plan to keep the car.
