Make sure to check the oil level in your Audi A3 as low oil levels can also cause rattling noises. If the oil level is low, top it up and see if the noise improves.

If the rattling noise seems to be coming from the exhaust area, it could be a problem with the exhaust heat shield. This can be fixed by tightening or replacing the heat shield.

The rattling noise you are hearing may be caused by loose bolts in the engine or a problem with the timing chain. It's important to get this checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible.
