Default Noise when opening door

I noticed that when opening the doors, it has a clicking sound and sounds awfully cheap, not what I expected from a $45k car when my $31k Camry sounds better. Does everyone else's sound the same, I looked at two different IS's and they both had the same sound.

I don't have the car yet, but my Acura has a few door notches that holds the door in place at certain angles. Maybe that's what's clicking?

I didn't notice it on any other Lexus... Just the IS' I looked at. My partner has a 13 ES and I have a $31k 2013 Camry SE which is for the record 14k less than the IS I want and they both are quieter when opening the door.

The noise that I am talking about, occurs as soon as I pull the handle and it releases the door from the latch.
