[Elecraft] K3: Relay noise?

[AC7JW]

I've followed this thread concerning a QSK clicking noise through all
comments, as well as other similar threads on the list, but it doesn't
appear as if anyone ever came to a firm conclusion as to origin of this
clicking noise. As others have stated, I can hear a very faint mechanical
clicking that follows my code when using QSK. It sounds like it's coming
from the KPA100 region, but I can't tell for sure. 
Did anyone ever come to a conclusion, or receive any information from
Elecraft? 

Thanks-
Jason AC7JW
