I can hear some steering noise at low speed during U turn. It is very much like noise of low power steering fluid in hydraulic system. Since 2013 is electric steering, I am sure if it is normal. Any owner here experiences same issue? thanks.

I have a 2013 s4 also and hear the same thing, can only be heard with windows up and audio off, ever have this looked at?

Ditto, happens in garages, almost like tire squeal, mentioned to dealer they said it's some sort of high pressure pump.

I believe it's due to the quattro system. Happens at low speed with wide turns of the wheel.
Definitely a lot more noticeable than my old car.

Ya. it is noticeable when audio is off at low speed wide turn. Seems normal given that so many people experience the same. Funny thing is that I mentioned the issue to dealer during 5k service and they swore not hearing any noise.
