I have a mid 2017 75D on coils that's suffering from the same noise. It's been in half a dozen times now and the diagnosis given sounds very similar to those above. It's had its strut braces changed twice (not the struts themselves) to no avail, but if it is the steering rack as mentioned above, no wonder that didn't fix it.
Just to add my own description of the sound, to me it's almost identical to the time I had a shock absorber bush perish, allowing the eye at the top of the damper to rattle around over small-but-high-magnitude bumps, causing this damped rattle noise. Turning the stereo up to 11 helps, but it's still immensely annoying if the car is quiet and ruins the Tesla hush-hush atmos...
