ZF8 clicking sound in gear selector when breaking in P and N

I have an XE 2016 automatic transmission.

From a sudden i started having clicking sounds in my gear selector only when pressing break only in P and N. I never had this thing before and i panicked a lil bit tbh. From what i know ZF8 transmission is very reliable and durable. Now i dont really know what that clicking sound means. I can hear it directly under the gear selector only when pressing break in P and N.

Help?

Possibly the sound of the transmission interlock solenoid disengaging. The Transmission Control Switch (TCS) contains an internal interlock solenoid to prevent the TCS knob from being rotated when the engine is not running.
