Only happens when the engine is turned on and is driven for more than 10 mins.
2016 Audi A6 2.0 Prem Plus with 15k miles
Car was sold to me as a CPO
Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

Sounds like you may have a baffle loose within the exhaust system - could even be a problem with the cat converter, which can sound like that if the baffles are broken.
If it’s still under CPO, I’d let the dealer take to look, however they may say exhausts are wear and tear items, in which case time for an AWE [drive]

Ok, guess I have to make a trip to the dealer🤦*♂️😞
Someone else told me it might be the heat shield or hanger that is causing the rattle 🤔🤔

UPDATE**
Finally got the car back after 3 long weeks.
They swapped out the entire exhaust system.
Found out rotors were warped and they resurfaced them
And they replaced a hose that was connected to the AC because of a recall?
The car only has 15k miles. I'm glad these issues were fixed but still find it odd that the rotors went out that fast.
All the labor and parts came out to a grand total of $0.00, So I gave the guy a $80 tip.

UPDATE***
They cant figure it out.
The service guy told me that after speaking to Audi, that they're pretty much saying the noise is "normal"
The service guy is real cool and even went out of his way to get Audi to approve anything so they can "fix" the problem.
But now I'm not to sure if its even worth the hassle.
Well, at least I got a free oil change =D
Was it raining in the video? It sounds like drops of water falling on hot exhaust pipes...

No, its not raining
I posted an updated video after they "fixed" the problem the first time
