Hi guys,
please would anyone be able to identify the problem related with the interior sound in the attached videos?
I tried it with A/C turned on and off, seems it does not effect the sound and it comes in cca 1-2 minutes intervals once vehicle is on.
The car is 2018 A8L with 3L petrol engine.

video 1 is here
video 2 is here

I will be grateful for any thoughts.

Many thanks

Sounds like some mechanism vibrating. Have you tried taking it to the dealer to see if they can determine?

In the AC Climate Control system are small electric motors - the flap is probably operated by a motor or pnuematics. Sounds like a worm drive or gear not quite engaging. Some flaps are motor driven and linked by arms. Dirt in the motor/arm/joints can result in slow movement/resistance/vibration. The noise could also be generated by air passing a thin flap - bit of plastic liner sticking out into the air stream.

Try different main fan speeds. Watch the different flaps. Use a video cam or microphone up close to the flap/source of the noise.
