I've had this sound too since day one. I had my dealer look at it and they replaced the right control arm. Of course I got the car back and it still made the same noise!! Since it's not really affecting the driveability of the car, I have just learned to live with it.

See my post below and a reputed fix. Let me know if this works:

Same issue here since day one. Had dealer check and don't know what is that.
I don't want to have them mess up my new car so I decided to live with that until there is a TSB for it.
