Hello Aimee,

Many thanks for being in touch. Unfortunately, the original poster hasn’t returned to the forum since joining some three and a half years ago. 
You could sent him a PM in the hope that he will reply, and that indeed his noise was due to the same cause as yours. 
l’m sure you will appreciate that it is going to be something of a long shot for anyone to diagnose the cause without road testing and inspecting the car.

If this were mine, I would be booking the car in to your trusted local garage, or Audi independent and getting the car checked with the minimum of delay - the car is trying to tell you something, and the origin of the noise should be traceable on inspection.

Perhaps you could let us know how you get on Aimee.

Kind regards,

Gareth. 

Thank you Gareth, I am going to get it checked asap. I was hoping for some indication as it’s a noise I haven’t heard before. A trusted mechanic I spoke with earlier believes it to be the fuel pump that needs replacing. I will update when I know for anyone else who may be looking.

Aimee.

Hi,

Did you ever resolve this problem? Mine is doing this, it gets better after a bit of a drive but depressing clutch and letting of the accelerator make it come back.

Thanks!
