It's not that, it's comming from the Allroad. I just bought this car and I have a 30 day warranty so I'm trying to track down issues. What I'm hearing is a funny sort of burp noise from the rear of the car, sort of underneath the trunk area if I had to guess. The noise happens when I'm going slower and I think when I'm turning. It sounds exactly the same everytime it happens. Is this normal for the car or is this a noise that the car is trying to tell me something is wrong? Thanks for you help! -Matt Kelley

Forgot to say it's a 2001 allroad with 76,000 miles on it.

TEH COMPRESSOR ! (dunh dunh duhhhhhhh)

Right now, all of us are betting the noise you're hearing when 'going slow' doesn't occur when you drive 0-10 or so... and that - if you listen closely, you'll find it's coming from the back, driver's side, down low. If it IS a continuous noise (like a long, low fert), that you notice when going slow - but goes away when you're going really slowly - then it's definitely the compressor, doing its job, acting exactly the way it's supposed to act...

Welcome to teh allroad club, Mr Ninja. You'll soon learn of the engineering that went into keeping the suspension nice and full of compressed air.
