Default 2 things, 1 gets less noticable the more miles you have on it & 2 there's a TSB

about the intake manifold, but you've gotta be in a certain vin range, other than that, it's part of the car's "charm" due to this placement of the chain drive.

Default ...maybe more prominent when cold...

i can hear it when engine-breaking in second gear (windows down)... i have a feeling that it's normal, but to me its a bit noticeable, that's why i'm asking...

Default "They all do that"

Honestly! Some say it's the chain drive, some say it's the PTO, but all S4's do make the noise.
