Default New 07. Unknown noises?

From what I remember in my 04 these sounds were never there. My new 07 seems to make a strange (well how can i explane this) patter like what sounds to be the lsd working, but it was never noticable before in the 04. Only really hear it during initial take off, but more so when turning during initial start. I thought maybe it was the tcs working, but i turned it off and it was still there.

I'm not getting worried because it is a new car. just curiuous if this is common for the 07's? I'll see if I can describe the sound better later on, but now I have to get to work

Oh and my friend said he hears a load patter outside the car when I took off next to him.

I described that symptom and asked for help here right after purchasing my '07 S new.
My noise was more noticeable when I'm slowly making an almost full lock turn.
I don't hear that noise anymore.
Maybe it was a break-in noise, I don't know.
But it went away after a while.
