Accelerator "clicking" sound when releasing after auto hold?

anyone else got this strange thing?
When starting to drive,, especially in the morning, for first few minutes I get this strange behaviour:

when car is stopped, auto hold is enabled. then, once pressed accelerator, there is a click sound coming from the pedal.

it usually disappears after few minutes of driving.
 
Possibly the brake pedal being released? Can't remember whether auto-hold intervenes on the ABS solenoids or directly moves the brake pedal like autopilot and TACC.

If it's the ABS solenoids holding it I wouldn't be surprised if the click from them releasing is capable of transmitting through the car since they're pretty beefy things and the whole shebang is bolted tightly together.

I use single pedal driving, so in particular cases no brake pedal is being pressed.
interesting that you can hear/feel it directly on the accelerator pedal

Yes, I have noticed this. Could feel it through the accelerator too.
