Vibration sound

[JamFtw]

Hi I have 2017 Gti just coming up to 10,000km and when i accelerate pretty hard, most noticeable in sport I hear a vibration almost sounds like its to right of me in the wheel well?

Some people have suggested it is the soundakator (or whatever it is) im not really sure and do not think it is that.

dosent really seem to affect much just worry some. really mostly noticeable accelerating from a stop.
any advice appreaciated.

Why don't you think it's the soundactor? That's exactly what occurs and why people dislike it. Have you tried turning it off to see if that solves your issue?

If it's more noticeable in sport, it's the Soundactor, which is programmed to increase its volume in sport mode. Nothing else changes between normal and sport in such a way that would cause an increase in mechanical vibration. If you don't have OBD11/VDCS and don't feel like buying one, it's fairly easy to unplug the Soundactor to check.

Does OBD11 deactivate it now? When I first got it they were working on it but I haven't pulled it out in a while
