You'll most likely need to replace the bracket cam. It's a pretty easy fix and some lubrication can also be helpful

As Blackheart said, it's a worn bracket cam. It's easy to fix if you have modest screwdriver skills. Of course, you'll need a Torx screwdriver for that model. I replaced the bracket cam on my G5 several years ago and while the noise is better, it never completely went away. My understanding is the clicking is mostly just annoying and doesn't really hurt anything. I just acquired a Kirby Gsix this week that has the click. I'll grease it at some point but otherwise just let it roll.
The link below goes to a YouTube video showing the repair being done on an Avalir. The procedure will be the same on your G7 since they're pretty much mechanically identical. CLICK HERE TO GO TO human's LINK |
