Clicking noise when accelerating at low speed
So I notice my car makes this soft clicking noise when I press the gas pedal around 20mph. It doesn’t need to be hard acceleration. In fact, i turn off AC and radio and sports exhaust so the car can be as silent as possible. It’s almost as when the power reaches the wheels, something is getting tightened and making that sound. Does anyone else notice this?

Sounds about right. Can you try decelerating? Drive at the same slow speed then suddenly take your foot off the gas pedal, then tap again. Basically gently jolting the drivetrain in acceleration/deceleration should produce this noise. It's driving me mad, though I tend to think it's "normal Porsche".

Crickets….. between fast idle and 1500rpm, on or off throttle, humming fast click from the rear, apparently it’s “the high pressure fuel pumps” and perfectly normal…. Only seems to be some cars, it’s bloody annoying!
low rev transmission noises…… these cars, especially on pdk form, chug a bit at low revs, you get a few rattles coming out of the drive train, if you leave it in normal mode it’s kind of inevitable. Not found a dual clutch car that doesn’t do it.
Lastly, had a change of plates a while back, screw hadn’t been tightened enough and the plate vibrates against the rear bumper…. Couple of foam pads and tightened the screws, sorted!

so the technician did a ride along with me and told me conclusively that it’s normal sound of clutch. Since 911 doesn’t have a lot of sound proofing and transmission is right next to the driver you hear everything. Good news! I think your probably don’t have to worry either.

I have a Cab, and with the top down the only thing I hear is the sewing-machine-smooth engine and exhaust note. With the top up any sounds resonate inside the cockpit more and I hear different noises from the transmission, turbos and the exhaust. Nothing strange though, it's just the noise of a sports car.
