Grinding/Abrasive Noise while foot off Gas pedal

[polski]

Does anyone else have a slight abrasive noise coming out from the front of the car when they are just coasting with foot off the gas pedal? It sounds almost as if it's brake noise. The noise goes away once you start to accelerate again or while coasting you press in the clutch then the noise goes away? I am just gauging to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Wastegate rattle? If so, it's normal.

I'm actively looking to get a dealership to acknowledge EXACTLY what this noise is.

FWIW, there are quite a few threads on this topic (the consensus is that it is indeed associated with the electronic wastegate), so you can at least take some comfort in knowing there are a few of us dealing with this same thing and our cars haven't exploded... but it's annoying and the way my brain works I just can't go on living without knowing WHY.

My first episode with the dealer ended up with them fixing "something" that may or may not have been a noise, but I can still duplicate what you're describing at will so it's going back Tuesday. I'm going to insist a tech and/or service manager go on a ride with me so they can't pretend they fixed another make believe noise this time.

Also another important note to add, at least in my case- there's a pretty definitive vibration coming through the gas pedal when I go through the invocation motions to produce this noise. That's what has always had me skeptical that it's wastegate noise- feels drivetrain-related to me. But I'm just a dude on a forum that has dealt with this shit since I noticed my first week of ownership.

I will definitely keep the forum updated if I have anything of note to report.
