I believe it's the direct injection (not entirely sure on that though.. most cars make funky noises at very low rpms in higher gears), you can reduce it by being gentler on the gas pedal. Easing into the throttle and not asking too much of the engine at low rpm.

Hey sorry to bother you again, but can you listen to the sound in the video at 00:03-00:04?

I just to make sure we're thinking of the same sound. BTW this is not my video but it contains the exact sound I'm on about.

Not at all what I was talking about... I have never heard that tapping sound before.. but it sounds like the exhaust is tapping something.

I'm talking about the diesel sound that you hear when your at low rpms in a gear.

Im talking about the sound at 3-4 seconds of the video. Is that the diesel sound ? You can hear some grumble rattling sound, I think you need to turn the volume up or use earphones to hear it clearly. The rest of the video is not part of it.

Yup, that's the sound. Not something you need to worry about. Other people have claimed that it's just valve train noise that you don't hear at higher RPM's or under different load scenarios.
