Chirping sound coming from rear
Seems to be most prevalent when cold, but still barely audible when warm.
I'm not extremely familiar with the quattro drivetrain, so I don't know if this is some sign of impending failure.
Everything looked fine when I had the wheels off switching over to winter tires, so I'm kinda scratching my head here.
I know my description is kind of vague, but I'm hoping experience plays a major role and someone has had a similar experience and was able to diagnose it.
TIA

Could be allot of things, My S4 made a similar sound I think. It turned out that it was a strut mount.
What part of the rear is it coming from, how dose it happen like if you hit a bump or something, that will help allot

It sounds related to rotation, but braking has no effect. It is most prevalent at low speeds tho. As I drive and the driveline warms up, it seems to diminish, but never actually goes away. Bumps don't seem to affect it either. It's really annoying!
