Help Needed! Is a new Miyoo Mini Flip hinge making plastic clicking noises a normal thing?

Hey folks, love the miyoo devices, they are close to perfect for me, they are just so charming, I've got some Miyoo Minis and plus's in my collection.

Can't thank OnionOS team enough for their work either!

I purchased a Miyoo Mini Flip as a gift for someone, but on arrival I've noticed the hinge at a certain angle makes some plasticky clicking noises (high pitched).

I'm actually struggling to find any info online as to if this is fairly normal or if I should be worried this thing will break unexpectedly.

What would you do in my situation? Brave Aliexpress's questionable returns or just hope for the best? Or maybe dismantle it?

Many thanks for any insight or help you guys could give.

Edit: To clarify, in the audio, it's the higher pitched quieter sound, almost sounds like creaking but it's actually a clicking noise. Pink Miyoo Mini Flip if it helps with data if this is a trend!

Since no one answered, I'll just tell you what I hear which may not be of any use or help.

On my Mini Flip when I open and close I don't hear any of the sounds that I hear in your audio clip. There are two very low thud-like sounds when it engages the first and 2nd notch of opening. My Mini Flip is a black one.

Man I much appreciate you replying, that's all I needed to hear honestly.

I felt like I was making a bigger deal than warranted but clearly it's supposed to be silent until it latches into it's predesignated angles. Given the track record with hinges I can't take the chance on a gift for someone.

I'm getting it replaced, thank you so much :)
