The "Italian Tune-up" works again.

Maybe there was some material built up on a belt or pulley that you
dislodged during your leg-stretching.

Let us know if your noise comes back.

30 seconds at WOT in 5th - LOL - must have been a rather deserted stretch
of road and that last 1 1/8 miles probably passed quickly.

Not that I have ever done any leg-stretching like that in any of my Audis ;
