Ok So I asked a question few months ago about a clicking sound here in the community.After changing the battery from an authorised apple repairer, I had some keyboard issue and a clicking sound. Finally took the laptop to Apple store and eventually they change again to my surprise all of it and I told them about the clicking sound and show them the video too. The computer came back and the sound now is even worse, before it was just sometimes not all the time now it all the time as soon as I switch on, what do you think it is? diagnostic has been done and nothing is wrong from the diagnostic, Apple store told me everything is fine when testing, I don't know where to look now. Here the link for you to listen. https://youtube.com/shorts/j8qgQk9N-Sw?feature=share

Can you verify you are using the 3-prong grounded extension... is sounds like electric interference on your mains.

Do you hear this on Battery only as a comparision— this would be telling. Unplug all peripherals

ref USA: Power Adapter Extension Cable - Apple These are universal, so if you have an old one from an older Mac use it. Apple used to include these with all new purchases with Mac...

but not any more—take home bonus seem more important to the share holders bottom line:

Apple cash on hand for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 was $51.355 Billion

If you do not have the extension then try a different wall socket or another location all together and compare you results.

certainly not the authorised repairer, I paid for the battery and Apple store has to change it again, so I will get in touch with Apple store again, I just hope they won't say that it will cost me the price of a new MacBook Pro to fix. I just don't understand how come they haven't found anything even showing them the video, they say " we don't know", I really don't get it.

So next time at the Apple Store— Boot it up before you leave the store and verify the issue is no more, if not do not accept it back until it is resolved.

Thanks for your reply, I do not use any of that and still, why it will make that sound without being in charge too?

Take it back to your "authorised apple repairer" if you still have an ongoing issue.
