Try clearing your evaporator drains.

Audi uses valves on their water drains, which catch debris and clog ..
.. dumping potentially gallons of water into your interior if you let it build up. Grasp the rubber drains between your fingertips and roll them gently until the decomposed filth squirts out.

the water rushing sound goes away once the inital rush happens
i don't hear it after that while driving. sometimes i don't hear it at all during startup.
it almost sounds exactly like the water rushing down a drain pipe in your kitchen or basement when someone upstairs flushes the toilet... rush girgle sound

After further monitoring and close listening.. it seems as if the noise is on the passenger side..
but it sounds as if it's coming from the side or passenger rear of the car...
any ideas??
