Default 991.2 TT brakes

Hi all, Im new to porsche and recently picked up a 2018 TT with about 5500 miles (iron brakes). Question is this - when I park the car and get out I often hear a random pinging or clicking sound from each corner of the car. I assume this is the 2 piece brake rotors cooling which would make sense - but I've had this type of rotor on other cars (mostly BMW) and never heard this. Is this completely normal as I suspect? Thanks in advance.

Sounds normal. After a run my 16 TT pings, tings, clicks and makes all sorts of metal contraction noises, most of which come from the exhaust (stock to 10/19 and cat-back Sharkwerks since).

The more spirited the drive, the more subsequent clicking. It's just the only way she can show her appreciation As above, it's mainly the exhaust though.
