Hello, first topic on here. Had my b7 rs4 for about 6 months now and ****** love it. 77,000 miles.

Just wondering if anybody can help what this slight drone/whine noise is I have at arounf 2000rpm. the noise is there in each gear, and on idle. doesn't change when the steering is moved (ruling out the powersteering system) and weather the climate control is on or off. If I'm been mega picky I can feel and very very slight vibration when the noise is heard.

heres a little video I tried to get the sound with, for some reason its recorded it really bassy. hopefully you get the idea maybe??

 
The video is not a lot of help... I know mine drones at 1800-2100 rpm roughly. Is it a 'new' noise, or one that it's always made?
