Default AWD question

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I just purchased a 2012 CTS coupe, nice car. When I making a sharp turn I hear this chatter type noise like the AWD is skipping. Is this an issue or is it normal? The car has 75,000 miles. I've had other AWD vehicles that never did this. Anyone have this problem?

My 2014 AWD does this same thing. When we were a lot younger,, my buddies and I had 4×4 Blazers and pickup trucks. When turning a corner locked in 4 wheel drive, they would kinda lurch, so we used to call it 'crow hopping'. We had the front end go bad on our 2014 CTS AWD Premium in August, 2020. $2,500!!! But car still does this, even with a whole new unit. I think you're OK........

Wow someone answered. Thank you so much for your response. Did you think it was coming from the front or rear? Its hard to tell. I guess I'm going to have to live with it.
