Is it coming from the centre console ie. the HVAC or the dash itself? If it is coming from where the windscreen meets the dash, it could be the dreaded A pillar creak. I had that from delivery but got rid of it by pressing hard on the plastic strip that holds the winscreen to the A pillar. Pressing on it secures the windscreen clips which are making the creaking noise.

This sounds similar to an annoying sound I have, drives me mad!
only fairly soft, like a ticking sound, sounds like it is coming form behind / inside the air vents in the dash. Iv'e tried listing for it with the fan on/off, etc but can't pick it. Comes and goes, sometime I don't hear it for a week or so, other times its there every drive. I have mentioned it every service and took the service guy for a drive, they can hear it too - but can't fix it. they say they would have to take the whole dash out/apart to check it out properly. I haven’t asked them to do this though as I reckon if they did this there is every chance there will be new rattles, but maybe next service. VERY frustrating, in such a quite car. Good luck , let me know if you make any progress.
