I'm the 2nd owner of this car, have put about 6k km on it since buying it May 2017.

Don't remember hearing the noise when test driving the car. I only notice it now when driving with the windows up due to the winter.

The noise is only present when I accelerate at a certain rate. If i accelerate any slower or faster the noise doesn't exist. Especially in 2nd gear+, if I accelerate quickly I don't hear a thing. And when I am cruising on the highway at 3k rpm (around the same rev range where I will hear the noise in 1st gear) in 6th the noise doesn't exist at all.

A few weeks ago, the temp was fairly warm 12C and the noise was significantly quieter. I'm thinking this noise is due to temp. Going to wait until warmer weather to see if this noise still exists. For now just trying to enjoy the car.

No knock or anything at cold start and I've left it outside in sub 0 temps. No knock at idle once warmed up. Have taken her to redline multiple times since this noise and it hasn't got any louder. Csr still pulls the same.
