My problem is that i'm sure my service manager won't justify the labor for a small issue unless I can prove it's been a known problem. I already have other mechanical concerns, guess I'll see what happens.
There's nothing worse than an unknown annoying noise! I hope you figure it out!
Also, probably not it again but some other sounds people might hear is flywheel chatter. I believe our flywheel is pretty light for a dual mass, when my car is warm I can hear it really well, I enjoy it though. It's not aluminum single mass/blow your brains out loud.

And at certain times I can here a little metallic rattle up front, from the belt assembly, not nearly as loud as that but I've heard it. Along with upper engine noise from our light as hell 0w30. When I switch to ester based 5w30-40 redline oil Euro mix the car is much quieter. That weight shears like a 5w40, it's awesome. It's Probably the valvetrain. Significant difference, I'm going to run it all the time. I'm sure 300v is even better.
