Default RPM related ticking sound behind Tachometer

Throwing this out there to see if anyone has faced this issue. There is a slightly annoying ticking sound that seems to emanate from behind the driver console - perhaps the tachometer - that appears between 2500 and 3500 RPM. Disappears above 3500. To me it almost sounds like a fan blade slightly out of alignment brushing against its housing. Only on acceleration. It's not really a huge deal but definitely noticeable. Wondering if maybe its a harmonic type issue. 2016 Turbo S. Thoughts?

I think what you are hearing is the vacuum pump. It’s noisy.

Maybe bushings broke that were holding power steering line up. It dropped down and taps against the chassis. Happened to me
