Default Strange Noise

Very strange noises coming from front of car at highway speeds. What could that be? Sounds like it is coming from front left tire.

To the extent it is helpful to you all, there is a TSB 2042603/1 for this issue. Wheel bearing will be replaced and can be reproduced at 35-70mph.

Thanks for the update C Tang. I was curious about the cause of the metallic hum in your video. Did the TSB specify any particular model years?

Sorry I don't know that. The TSB was what the dealer told me. Btw I have a 2015 A6 (C7) with about 1 year left on factory warranty if that helps.

How many miles do you have on your car?

My 2014 A6 3.0T needed the front driver's side wheel bearing replaced back in June 2017. The dealer mad eno mention of a TSB about it but it was covered under warranty anyway. The car had 30K miles on it,.
