I wanted to come back and make an update in case anyone is in the same situation. I had my car checked out at a reputable dealer who concluded it was nothing to worry about. They tried to seal some potential noise leaks in to the cabin but ultimately said it is normal diesel sound. No real explanation as to why other cars don’t have the same thing but they assured me it was nothing bad The sealing/insulation or whatever they did dampened it somewhat, but I still hear it because I am accustomed to it..

Most cases of bad DMF I have heard it is noisy at idle as well. But thank you so much for the suggestions, I'll have to get it checked. Also @Mladen don't worry about your english, it is great 🙂

Injectors were my initial thought aswell but OP says he changed injectors? And yes my sound also seems to be louder in the cold. I can’t say that it has gotten better driving with it though… i have a hard time just ignoring such a noise as if it were completely normal. Scared to make it worse. Yeah sorry there is really no way for me to make it any clearer. I can hear it clearly on all different devices I have played it on. But as you stated earlier our ears are attuned to the sound and we know what we are listening for. Thanks for trying at least 🙂

Hard time recording the noise better really. I have tried to EQ out background noise now but in turn it also affects the noise a little, hopefully at least you are able to hear what we are referring to 🙂 rattle_eq.mp3

I also can not hear it in two of OPs videos, but in these two I can hear it as clear as my own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcuBBf_tTXQ&t https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NQfMqm8RjZM I really wish he could come back and tell me if he ever found out what it is.

Yeah sorry about the squeak that is probably just my finger moving on the phone. Turn up the volume and from around 3 seconds you will hear a clatter/rattle/tick up until the squeak, like a tractor almost. When the squeak comes I let off and it goes away. Right after the squeak at about 12 seconds i accelerate harder and it comes in again. I completely get what you mean about it being hard to hear on video but turn it up as much as you need and you should hear it.

Hello, I am pretty sure I have this exact sound with 2.0 TDI DETA engine. Audible mostly after 1500rpm on gears 3-5 and goes away INSTANTLY when you let off throttle. I feel like it is varying in loudness from day to day, potentially temperature? My video is also recorded from drivers footwell and it is clearly coming from drivers side. All help is appreciated!!
