Noise opening and closing m3pro MacBook

i recently bought a M3pro MacBookpro 14” and I can hear a cracking or popping noise, only slight, when opening and closing from the middle bar or chin bar between the two hinges. I pressed it with my finger and it feels like adhesive sticking and unsticking. Any suggestions what it is, and what I should do?? As this is brand new.

I wouldn’t go straight to getting rid of it.

Can you see the adhesive? If it is adhesive, wait for it to dry, this will be a temporary nuisance.
