This is because when you first start the car, the engine is running on port injection and not direct injection.
If you open the hood of a 2.0T VAG product, you will hear the crickets on startup because that engine only has direct injection. The Hitachi HPFP in the 2.0T is just better insulated than the Denso HPFP in the twins. VW/Audi also have much better sound deadening with their cabins.
I also hear rocks hitting the bottom side of my BRZ readily where I don't hear anything with other makes and models, yet nobody ever complains about that.
