Hello all, I just purchased a 2011 GTI Autobahn (automatic, 89k miles), and noticed this sort-of rattling/growling sound that happens at low RPM's (around 1k) when accelerating from a stop. Not sure if it's the engine or something else, or if it's normal. It's audible from inside the car, but I had my gf stop and go while I recorded the sound from outside the car (both hood down, and hood up), which made it easier to hear in the recording (although you still might need to crank the volume up). If anyone can confirm if this is a normal sound, or if not, what it might be, I'd greatly appreciate it!
