Default Metal clanging noise from front-driver side (2020 CX-5 36k miles)

I notice a clanging noise when driving at low speeds, but it has been very difficult to record it. However, recently, I started noticing a clanging noise when I sit in the car for the first time in the morning. But after that I cannot reproduce it, and have to wait till next day.

I took the car to the dealer, and they replaced sway bar bushings. The noise was muffled a bit for a day, but now it's back. Please see the 2 attached videos, which are of the same exact event (me sitting in the car when it's cold), but shot from 2 different viewpoints.

Any ideas what this noise could be or where should I point the camera to get a better video? Thanks

Have the Mid Pipe checked. I had it replaced on my '21 for clanging to much on startup.

First its not the mid pipe!

There is something impacting from the suspension. By the sound of the noise whoever looks carefully will see an impact area either bare metal cause from the impact or at least a sign of the impact. I would do this ASAP because that sound having unidentified and obviously with your suspension may be a sign of other issues.

Your Service writer and to service tech should be shown and demonstrated the sound before your Mazda goes into the service bay.
You can show the video's but don't be surprised if they do not look at them more than a curious then evidential. I would be the same and often that way when I get pictures and video's of what customers "think" the problem is. Mostly because it ends up being something totally different from their evidence.

Personally, I would inspect my strut mount(s) and make sure the bolts are tight and then do as Cali said.
