After visit at Audi they said it’s normal) so don’t know what to do, but the sound still there not always but sometimes. Audi said that they checked and no damaged parts) sometimes I am wondering maybe I am too paranoid or I should not trust Audi center and visit another, do they even know what to look for

I just listened to your clips, tbh they are way too short to diagnose anything properly.

There was no mistaking that mine was a suspension based rattle/clunk..

Might be an idea to record it as best you can for a longer period mate then post that up..

I’ve had it on my RS4 and RS6. It’s only a faint sound but annoying. It does go away the higher the pressure in the system and noisier as it drops. More apparent in comfort too.

Master Tech at Audi said it’s very normal for DRC cars. If it’s anything more than a light knock then I’d be concerned. Once had a DRC leak on my RS4 and it sounded like pots and pans being banged together.

Well I think I do t have any leak on my drc, but Audi should diagnose pressure in a system if I ask, but maybe they didn’t understood what I meant about that sound: I explained when I was at Audi that I have pop sound on both right and left front sides when turning steering wheel to the left or right especially when car is not in a horizontal position (one wheel higher and another lower) but never mind, I will try to monitor and see what happens next, as Audi sais it’s normal that it makes noise

It’s very hard to capture that sound when you inside a car and drive, what I noticed that with winter tires I get not so noisy sound but with summer tires it sounds more, maybe it’s just me and not makes sense

If the clips are representative of the "noise," I would suggest it's not your DRC.

If the DRC requires to he repressurised the "noise," is unmistakably shock absorber/suspension related.

It is NOT normal to have the DRC rattle and bang, the "they all do that" is a load of <beep>, that's a throw away comment from a guy who heard it from another guy.. as if they left the factory like that, you know what I'm saying ?

Morski's opening statement says it all...

I also think it’s arb links, but they didn’t checked that, don’t know what to do, it’s a little bit annoying when you go to Audi and they can’t find anything neither any noise anything

As morski wrote I think it can be a arb links but Audi couldn’t diagnose that, so I think I should go to them and point this picture asking please check ONLY ARB LINKS
