Re:A4 whine at speed and remote locking

Yes, I too experience this whistle at 3000 RPM, along with the 1450 RPM
engine vibrations, along with the variable 550-700 RPM
rumbling/vibrating/resonating idle (the last two items are annoying).
Rector Motors has logged quite a few complaints about the latter two
already.  No solutions, though.  I figure there will always be a few
annoyances for a car that drives so well.
