Knock/Rattle noise bumpy roads

[af1]

I have a 2016 with 8k miles on it that has this annoying knock/rattle noise coming from the front end of car going over bumps. It occurs at all speeds but most noticeable at lower speeds due to lack of other noises associated with driving faster. Does not seem to be temperature dependent. Had car to dealer who has and still is giving it their best.

I may have just started noticing some noise up front and seems its when its very cold. Very subtle though. Not sure its a rattle or knock though. I need to investigate more. Not sure if its coilovers. Very hard to pinpoint as its not noticeable. But Ive been known to spot noises where most people cant

Could be anything that is loose. Maybe suspension related.

See what shop say.

You seem to be having all sorts of normal issues with this car... :)
It's quite impossible for anyone here to assess what's going on from your description without a very good sound clip... it could be normal or it could be something in your suspension or heck it could be your spare not screwed down tightly...
You have a warranty and the dealership has the car... best scenario... they will sort it out for you if it's something...

I'm on the particular side as well. It's definitely up front. I drove a coworkers 2015 S4 and it didn't make anything other than what I would consider normal suspension noise. I did allot of searching around this site and another and there are others out there experiencing rattle or knocking type of sounds. I saw temp dependent control arm issues on early B8 cars, loose engine mounts and sub-frame cross members etc. no real smoking guns as of yet. I guess when weather breaks I'll crawl under there and start wrenching.

Maybe it's your passenger seat. Mine started rattling out of the blue one day (see video below). Took it to dealer and they told me two bolts were loose on the passenger seat.
