Default Engine noise from new (to me) S8

I just bought an '03 S8 down in California and on my drive north I noticed a bit of a strange noise. It's a sort of a lower pitched click / buzzing noise that seems to be coming from either side of the air intake.

Check out the linked clip for a video clip with the sound.

Any input on what it could be and how serious it is would be a great help. I'm currently in Salem and I'm planning on heading to Seattle tommorrow.

The car runs great but the noise definitely seems odd.

Thanks.<ul><li><a href="http://putstuff.putfile.com/48156/971814">http://putstuff.putfile.com/48156/971814</a</li></ul>

Default Also, when it starts it revs to around 1100 rpms then drops to around 300rpms and climbs back up

Any thoughts?
