I have Audi A4 3.0 TDI and exactly the same noise. Did you manage to solve it? I bought my car from Germany from AUDI authorized dealer and it was brought to Slovakia. Now after 2weeks I recognized that sound is really strange. Next week car will go for check to AUDI service, so lets see what they will tell me. Nevertheless, I am afraid its time chain or chain tensioner... The car warranty ended 8/2019... However, I hope I will be able to apply some kind of warranty as this is really hidden iissue and shouldnt happen in 4years old car serviced in authorized service and having 68k KM only. Did you manage to solve your issue?
