S4 B8 engine whine

Just drove my S4 Avant B8 (2011/manual) back from a 3000 mile trip across Europe with the engine making a disturbing mechanical whine, especially between 50 and 70 mph or after fast acceleration.
There was always a mild whine at high speed which I assumed was just the supercharger, but it is now really loud. Anyone had this experience? What else could it be? All suggestions gratefully received!

Does the whine correlate to engine speed or road speed?

Correlation with wife-in-car?

Try Audizine mate, they have a pretty busy B8 forum.
