I'm hoping someone can recognize this noise.

I have MAP exhaust, and PRL CAI

It's been happening a while now. I notice it more at the drive thru . It's not just when im turning. It's also when im going straight. If its the exhaust I just dont see where the exhaust could be making that noise.

To my ear... that sounds like something really small bouncing around inside or on top of something larger. Maybe a pebble or something similarly hard/solid? The first thing I'd do is take off the metal cover underneath and see if there's something bouncing around there. Also... folks have been known to find very small pebbles inside the rotor covers.

It's louder at the drive-thru because the sound is bouncing off of the brick walls.

Good luck. And let us know what you find.

Its probably the sound of a VAG product trying to get out

Kinda sounds to me like a stone stuck on the control arm or behind the brake shield.

Does it ever do it when you're not moving?

Brake pad retaining springs?
Brake disc splash guards/shields?
You need to jack the car up and spin the wheels by hand.
Imagine how much money you could make if you could diagnose weird sounds from viewing a video clip..................I'm sure I heard a cat meow on the second vid, is it trapped in the intake?

Had the same thing that happened to me before.

Thought it was the endlinks, brake shims, rotors discs, pads. It just came to one root cause which was a small debris that was left inside the tire when Costco mounted my new tires.
