Odd "whirring" noise drivers side rear... 0_0 So I've got an odd situation here... w/ my 99 WS6 111,000 miles A4.
When I've reached a certain speed, usually around 40-50mph, it will sound like a vacuum is behind me... like a whirring or something... 0__0
Now - this only happens when I have a very light throttle. So essentially when my foot is only on the gas far enough to keep it going on the freeway. (If I push any further the noise is gone, or drowned out by the engine).
Its very odd, it sounds like its coming from the speaker sometimes, sometimes it sounds like its coming from the wheel.
but ONLY on the rear drivers side... maybe I'm just crazy and the voices speak to me through vacuums
Any help guys?

At first I was thinking that it is probably your differential or transmission whinning...but you said a sucking sound, and only on 1 side of the car...hmmm, I don't know. I'm looking forward to some answers myself.
Does the car act any differently other than making the noise?

I was thinking the same thing, (trans or diff), but its only when I press the gas going above 40mph...ish... and its only when pressed lightly.
Its like someone duct taped a small vacuum to the back left part of my car, and when I press the gas slightly its on & if I let off the gas it immediately stops...
