Why does my Audi A1 engine make a strange noise while accelerating?

I recently noticed that my Audi A1 engine makes a strange noise while accelerating. It kind of sounds like a high-pitched whirring noise. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

The strange noise you are hearing could be due to a faulty alternator or serpentine belt. It's important to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible, as ignoring it could lead to further damage. I would recommend taking it to an Audi dealership for a proper diagnosis and to get it fixed.

I had a similar issue with my Audi A1 and it turned out to be a problem with the engine mounts. They were loose, causing the engine to vibrate and make strange noises. It's an easy fix that you can do yourself or take it to a mechanic. Just make sure to check all the engine mounts and replace any that are worn or damaged.
