Default 2018 GS350 VIDEO intermittent clicking noise, normal?

Hi, I have a 2018 GS350, noticed an intermittent clicking noise in the passenger side of the engine bay (near high pressure fuel pump). Noise comes and goes. Video clip captures the noise starting and then cutting out (20 seconds was too long to upload to this site so had to go through youtube). Typically if the car is idling and you stand next to it for a minute or two you will catching it coming on. Can anyone tell me if this is normal.

Thank you!

Video link to the noise.

I thought that was when it was switching between modes (port vs direct).

I know mine (also 2018) does something similar.

Very normal, for multiple reasons. All the 3.5s do this (even on my old IS350c). Enjoy the car!
