I’ve noticed my 2022 Taycan makes this creaking / settling noise quite a bit now. I put it in reverse and back up and it starts making this kind of deep clicking / creaking sound (it’s hard to describe). At first it was just doing it when I start driving the car in the morning after sitting in the garage overnight, but now it’s doing it while I’m driving too (usually when I’m moving more slowly). Does this happen to anyone else? Is this something I should take it in for? At first I thought it was the suspension but it happens when I’m on perfectly flat road too, when the suspension has nothing to actually do…

I have no idea what the problem could be but I would record the sound and definitely take it in to get fixed. That is not normal and should not be acceptable to anyone.

I am having my car checked out currently for a similar sound, but I'm pretty sure it's coming from the rear differential. It happens when backup up slowly on the brakes, slowing down and turning at lows speed or turning full lock to the left at low speed. Sounds like I have a subwoofer in the car with a low "womp-womp" that seems to coincide with the rear wheels turning at full lock.
