Timing of valve sound

This may be a noob question, I noticed so far twice after the car is sitting for a week or so, the first time I drive off I hear the valve release but only the first few second and then I don’t hear it again until or unless I’m doing something. Just not understanding why it’s so pronounced at first and goes away? Build up? Basically sounds like I drove over an air balloon filled with water and it pops.

Does it sound like air released from a valve?
One of my friends said he heard it on MY24.

If you know how to replicate it, you should bring it it service manager's attention

I don’t know how to replicate but I am beginning to think it’s not the valve but rather the air suspension. Earlier today parked the car and as I was walking away and it locked I heard it. Then on approach heard it again. Emailed the foreman of my dealer to find out what the story can be.

Found a few threads in exactly what I think is happening but no one seems to have had a dealer advise on the issue. Anyone recently dealt with it?
