It's normal...It's the sound of your overworked turbos.

Default It's probably your intake sucking more air, but you might want to pressure test to make sure it's
not a leak.

Yeah, it sounds like it's coming from the center vents.

Default you have a stock exhaust I take it?
The stock exhaust is pretty restrictive on the S4, especially the rear muffler.

That's where all that turbulent or "sandblaster" noise you speak of comes from.
