My noise is no way as pronounced as video but it's just as annoying 😡

I’ve had this same issue, again not as pronounced as the one in the video but I agree it’s hard to ignore once you notice it. My S is 2 weeks old just and I’ve been putting up with it a week already.

Would love to know if anyone manages to diagnose this. I’m booking in to OPC on Monday.

I had the same issue, which after a visit to the OPC, was rectified at the first attempt. I was told it was to do with the lubrication/greasing of some bearings. Exactly which ones I can’t remember. I was just relieved they had sorted it. My S was about a month old when it started. Annoying but now fixes.
I have air suspension.
I hope you have a similar result. 😊

Yes. Mine had it. It was fixed, and then came back mildly, so is going back in a few weeks.

I'll see if I can get something more specific from the OPC but I saw the technician replicate it when the car was stationary by (am pretty sure) pressing on / moving the rear corner bumper in the area where it rises to meet the lights. Think he managed it with boot open and closed.

Did anyone here get the noise fixed? The reason for asking is that it came back on mine so is at the OPC now.

They now think it's coming from the roof. I don't believe that, and instead think it's coming from where they originally found it near the boot - and that they just need to perform a better fix.

But has anyone here had the same noise sorted on their car? Thanks.

Having had my Gen 3 Macan S 3 months now I'm hearing this creaky sound but not as pronounced as in the video. I'm hoping it'll go after driving it more but doesn't sound like it. I also don't want the car at an OPC this soon! Anyone heard of the noise just going away?

Sorry, I haven't visited this site for ages so didn't see the replies.

Mine was sorted by the dealer, it was one of the exhaust heat guards catching on the steering rack when turning that caused the cracking sound. Very simple fix, but they said it was a bit of a pain to get to in order to adjust. It hasn't come back since so I'm 100% sure that's what it was, the noise on mine was most pronounced in the front wheel wells and sounded like it was coming from the steering rack/suspension.
