Electrical clicking noise coming from center console?

Hi all,

Just started hearing a weird new clicking sound, sounds electrical, coming from my center console(cd, radio, toggle switch) area. I started noticing it yesterday after I had just taken off my wheels for the first time for cleaning. After putting all the wheels back on, and driving around, I noticed a weird ticking/clicking about 12-16 clicks coming from my center console. It sounds electrical and its not that loud but definitely noticeable when I have all my 'sounds'(fan and radio) turned off and windows up. It ticks and then goes away for about a minute or so then comes back. It's kind of annoying because its repetitive. Anyone have an idea what i could be?

I highly doubt it was because I removed my wheels because I don't see how it could be connected. Part of me does think that it may have some how exacerbated something else. Fortunately I had already scheduled an appointment at my dealer on the 9th so I will have them check it out then. However, I'm just seeing if anyone can diagnose it right now just to alleviate my curiosity.
