I think it might be the tyres! they are starting to look a bit worn - even though they have a fair bit of tread I think the inner edges of the front are causing it. this guy explains it pretty well:-

Hi thanks for the reply. It’s done 50k Miles, so quite low. I would have serviced the dsg at 40 but was advised to leave it by 2 separate Audi specialists.

I’m hearing a whine at cruising speeds (it’s not the children complaining!). It changes frequency depending on my speed, but doesn’t change if I drop down a gear, so it’s something in the final drive. Thought it might be a wheel bearing, but it doesn’t seem to be coming more from one side than the other. It’s a 1.8 tfsi with 7 speed dsg. Audi says the transmission is sealed for life so doesn’t require oil service. i recorded the noise on my iPhone, but it just sounds like wind whistling. Thoughts? Cheers Mark

None better!

Hey, Thanks for your replies. I found an independent Audi mechanic nearby and had him take a listen. His exact words were, "what, that? that's just the fuel pump, thats normal". sorry to waste anybody's time! thanks again. M

Ahh ok. Thanks, I’ll put it on YouTube and post a link. M

Hi, I searched the site for 'ticking noise' but didn't really find anything. I made a little video and I'm hoping someone here might know what this noise is. It seems to be coming from the right hand side of the engine-well, more so than the left, I guess. This engine does have a timing chain [tensioner?] Any thoughts and opinions are really most welcome.
