Should I be able to “hear” Quattro/Haldex?

Should I be able to “hear” Quattro/Haldex?
I have an odd grinding noise while driving in 1’st and 2nd gear. It only happens when I’m giving it enough gas to where the tires may slip a little, not smashing the pedal down though. Granted, I just got this car and it really needs tires BAD but this noise is a little unsettling.
I feel like it might be the “Haldex” unit but I really have no clue…
Any help would be appreciated (as always)

awesome pics man... things make a lot more sence... I guess i'm going to need to get it in to get it looked at...
The only question now, have the dealer check it or the VW guy around the corner? I think i'm gonna have Audi take a look but I'm not gonna have them do the work...

I know man!
I just meant by "VW GUY" that he's just a guy with a shop, not a dealer... He already said he'd work on my TT...
However, since my last post I talked to a mechanic friend of mine who is the manager at the local "Honda" Dealer which is at the same location as the Local Audi dealer (same owner) - I'm going to drop my car off there after work and they are gonna keep it for a day or two and figure out as much as they can about it... I think they might even be able to "run next-door"(audi) and get some stuff or info if they need it....
Audi wants $150 for their "used car inspection"... sound like a waste of $$$????

good point....
That's why i'm gonna drop it off at the Honda dealer tonight... it probably won't cost me anything and I know this guy is a good tech... and if he doesn't know something, he won't hesitate to just admit it and aquire the information/parts he needs...
