Kind of hard to know what your talking about without hearing it. Make a video?

I think its a normal sound. I think its the fuel system pressurizing but I can't remember where I read it. Someone with the correct terminology care to chime in?

I have a GTI and have been hearing the exact same thing near the back door/gas filler area ever since I bought it. It only happens during the first 5 minutes of driving my car and I only gear it at very slow speeds. It almost sounds like the RR Door s trying to lock itself over and over even though it already locked.

I have this same noise. The first time I heard it, I started the car and drove a block and waited at a light in front of a frat house. It happened at the light and stopped when I took off. I heard this every single day. Then I realized it started to tap faster with higher rpms from 0 to 10 mph.
