Noise from car in the wee hours of the morning

[regnak23]

I moved house recently and went from sleeping at the other side of the house to sleeping with my MG4 just outside the bedroom window (I'm on the ground floor). Between 4-5am most mornings there is a noise that lasts 4-5 seconds loud enough to wake me up. I got up 2 mornings ago around 4:30 and went outside to record the noise and confirm the source but no joy. It went off at 4:15 this morning!
Has anyone any experience of the battery doing something (it's always unplugged, charger cable won't reach yet - to finish driveway) noisy every 24 hours before I ring up the garage and they laugh at me? It is a bit colder these days. There's no climate schedule or battery heating activated. Thanks!

Is your daily use/schedule with the car always the same. My car will go into deep sleep mode (so even the app can't reach it) after about 24 hours of not being used. So maybe this is your car checking a system and turning it off.

Also check if you have battery heating on as it maybe the car is just keeping the batteries warm or getting them warmed up for your morning drive

This would be my thought too. (IBH tends to be on by default, so you have to manually turn it off. It's under the cog symbol of the Discharge tab under the Battery tile).

Is this a grrrr and then a loud metallic clunk sound?

It's probably the car sighing at the thoughts of the existential dread that grip us all at that time of day. Is the car displaying any signs of listlessness or ennui? This time of year is difficult, longs nights and so forth...
