So, I was driving yesterday and I heard a loud whistle coming from the engine at idle and up to about 1500 - 2000 RPMs. I could make it stop as long as I was accelerating. But it was god awful when sitting at lights or when parking. To the point where I was shutting her down at lights and hiding behind my dark tint.
Here is a video link of the noise and my initial troubleshooting:

Took her in and apparently this is common in other models but the stealership had not seen this from the S7 yet. Just my luck! I will report more as soon as I get the service order back tomorrow but the short answer is the baffle / seal on the crankcase is leaking.
Hope this helps anyone else out there that experiences this.
My first time posting and hope to contribute more!
