Normal Sound? (Tailgate Exhauster?)

[Waxings]

I am new to the Jeep Wrangler. I purchased the new High Tide edition and love it. It is a relatively quiet drive even with the larger 35" tires. The one thing that I notice is when I go over a, larger than normal, bump, I hear a ticking sound in the back tailgate. I sat in the back while another person drove it and narrowed it down to what I feel is the Tailgate Exhausters making that noise when they are closing after being open from the pressure change. It seems like they open when you hit the bump and when they all close they make a clicking noise when they re-seat themselves. I have a goose Gear tailgate table covering the tailgate but I can still, hear it. I'm ok with it as long as that is normal. I guess it's just OCD.

Thanks

Makes sense as it looks like the GG table replaced the stock panel. The stock panel has insulation/padding there:

I did notice it even before I took the original off. Maybee the jeep is really sealed tight? LOL!
