Weird noise in 2nd gear....
I got my 2012 MS3 about 2 weeks ago and I'm not used to the sounds the car makes. Today I was driving around and while in 2nd gear around 4k rpms and up I get this gurgling noise that got louder as the rpms went up. I did this a couple times and each time the turbo gauge didn't read at all (I wasn't pushing the gas down hard enough to engage it). When I would push the gas down for the turbo to kick in the noise was quieter but it only happened in 2nd gear. I'm not driving my car that hard. Sadly I'm kinda grannying it until I get used to the feel.
I drove it around today and the sound is more like a 'wub wub wub' and it's around 5k rpms w/o engaging the turbo...

Sorry, had to
But yeah, unless you want us to start making fun of your noises like the cartalk guys, audio would help.
