Rattling/Knocking noise

I just bough a 2019 Roadster last week with about 13k miles. I noticed when i start off in Comfort or Eco Pro, that when electric transitions to ICE there is a slight rattle/knock that lasts a second or 2. I notice it when electric mileage is at 0 or 1 mainly. When the the electric miles are above that and I'm taking off from a start it stays in electric longer before transitioning and I do not notice the minor rattling noise.
I never here it starting in Sport or eDrive whether starting slow or harder.

I almost never let my car go to under 5km of battery range. Not sure if they have controls to protect the battery for that.
