Gone from none existent when I got the car 6 months ago to mind blowingly annoying now. I think I’ve traced the noise to the right hand side of the glove box possibly where the box hinges at the rear !? I’d like to try and get some lube to it but everything appears to be covered by trim. Any ideas other A3 or Audi owners experienced this ? 
I’ll put up a  video clip later

Don’t need to. I can open the glove box and put pressure on the open lid at the side and it stops. 
pretty sure the noise  comes from the “hinge” or what ever the lid swivels on  at the rear. 
but everything appears to be covered by trim.
Just searched and theres a YouTube video showing how to remove the glovebox lid which looks a bit of a gaff. Was hoping somebody might have an easy fix.

Be careful doing it as one of my glovebox hinges has snapped as the plastic has gone brittle. 

Definitely try wd40 etc.  If it's moving slightly you could put felt on the edges of the glovebox.
