I am chill, just defending my real world experience vs your stipulation of what "typically" happens. Obviously this guys has had 2 places try and diagnose the problem without luck so I'm suggesting that out of the ordinary possibility.

No, I think you'll find if you read back through the replies that IceKube "confidently stated" the Audi CV joint initially, but yes I did agree with him because first hand experience or not, it is a valid and correct statement.

Top mount's or even the spring turning slightly would give this sound.

Hope you get it sorted soon . One thing I hate is noise's that you can't find .
And it's nice to see another qualified mechanic also suggesting what I mentioned first off about checking the top mounts!
