[A4] Are drilled rotors really loud?

[Brandon Rogers]

Drilled rotors won't sound different and/or get quiet as your turn from side
to side (un-weighting and quieting a bad bearing).  And drilled rotors are
only audible, IME, under heavy braking.

The reason I ask is there's this 2007 RS4 with 70K miles on it tempting me
locally.  But it sounds like the wheel bearings are going.  It sounds almost
exactly like my 1997 A4 2.8Q that has 200K miles on it.  So I got to
thinking, maybe it's not the wheel bearings but it's the drilled rotors?

Any thoughts?

Hope everyone who celebrates them is having a good start to their holidays.
