Default Body flexes during hard acceleration

When you guys accelerate hard into a turn (especially from a stop) do you hear some noticeable crackling of the interior panels/trims due to flexing of the body? I drove a few cars at the dealer, including a S5 with similar mileage as mine, and they all made similar noise.

Engine noise drowns out any other noise for me during hard acceleration, so not sure.

Well then, Porsche is screwed when they come out wth the 600 hp Cayenne Turbo S which is on the same platform as the B9. There’ll be door panels flying all over the place. I wonder how Bentayga owners are dealing with it.
