Same in two A4s I've driven
My Avant has always done this, and then when it was in for some warranty work (bad strut mount) I was given an A4 Sedan as a loaner. Exactly the same sensation. Must be a "feature" of the new A4s.

I notice that when starting it takes a few spins of the crank to get the cams positioned properly, and it clatters a bit. Then when starting off the Valve lift solenoids do a tap dance. Any chance this is what you hear and feel?

yeah, i sense the same thing. it only happens after i initially start the car and start accelerating for the first time, and it happens every single time. there is about two clicks right before the auto lock engages. i can actually feel it on my feet against the gas pedal. i figure it was a normal thing, at least i hope it's normal.

I experience the clicking noises at startup as well. I have also felt the clicking after hitting particularly nasty potholes. I assumed something was being readjusted and simply lifted off the gas and the clicking stopped.
