I don't know where you live, but since you mention kph, I assume it is not in the USA, so not sure what your drivetrain warranty is. If the car is under warranty, you should probably take it to a dealer.

That being said, there was a TSB for 2009 vehicles (maybe some 2010) regarding some noise on the rear axle at certain speeds. The fix was to add a spacer to the axle. Obviously, you would need to discuss this with your dealer.

Thanks for your reply.

i remembered that i'd never checked the C Oil (Differential oil) for the axle.

and about the tik in transmission stik ?

That's the shift lock solenoid that keeps the shift lever locked in park until you have your foot on the brake. A small vibration in the the shift handle is normal. If it is making a loud noise then ask your dealer as something may have come loose.

I had exactly the same noise in my 2009 3.8 and had mentioned it to the dealer a couple of times. They investigated, but I don't recall any actions. It only showed up at about 80,000 km and didn't appear to get any worse, so I lived with it until I changed the car at 120K.

The slight clicking noise you mentioned is something myself and others have and continue to experience. Seems to be a normal thing.
