Strange noise when accelerating

[Anders100]

Hi guys, I'm new to audi s3 8p ownership so any help would be greatly appreciated. When I let the clutch out there's a strange noise coming from I suspect the gearbox. Then when I accelerate it gets quite loud! But nothing on tick over or when the clutch is in???.

Does the car have a dual mass flywheel? If so, that could well be the problem. The springs have a tendency to break allowing the secondary flywheel to rattle.
