Clanging background noise in cockpit
-
This will be a tricky one to deduce without a video. A "clanging" noise suggests it could be the passenger boarding/deboarding audio, but it is difficult to say without a video.

The before flight the sound stops when closing doors, after landing it starts when reaching taxi speed.

@sg_aviation That's not something I can replicate on my end, but it possibly sounds like the audio you would hear if you taxied the aircraft on dirt or gravel, etc.
Do you perhaps have FS Realistic installed? As I believe certain settings have caused similar issues in other aircraft.

Mine makes a crash bang sound right after the FO calls out "Go" before he says rotate, and then it happens again on landing while rolling off the runway i think, sounds like a big bang

No FS Realistic and no GSX installed, plus it relates to aircraft specific actions.

@Mark Here's more details about how to reproduce:
Departure
- Load flight
- Select "Turnaround" state from EFB
- Sound appears
- Set EXT AC to OFF or Close FWD PAX DOOR from EFB
- Sound disappears
- Set EXT AC to ON or Open FWD PAX DOOR from EFB
- No sound appears!
Arrival
- Land aircraft
- Decelerate below 15 kt
- Sound appears
- Connect Ground Power & APU
- Set EXT AC or APU to OFF
- Sound disappears
- Set EXT AC or APU to ON
- No sound appears!
This indicates a bug, since I cannot imagine any situation where such sound could appear in line with the actions described. While the sound may be similar to ground roll rumbling, it can also be a clacing induced by air vent/flow or similar - in the end it's up to you to define the sound origin, since there is no other source like FS Realistic etc.

@Mark I have finally identified root cause of the issue:
The file RJ_audio_tracks.ini instructs to set set song DURATION=0 to disable. Since I do not prefer any cabin music, I have set all values to zero. This causes the audio play to shuffle through the 7 tracks at a very high speed, causing the clanging noise. Once I press Stop or set volume to zero, the noise disappears.
Not a big deal but something to look into resources permitting.
PS. The better option appears to be deleting the actual .wav files.
