Rasping Noise

I've noticed that I get a bit of a rasping noise round about 2300 - 2500 rpm, under acceleration. As the revs rise and reach about 2300rpm, it begins to rasp, and then as it passes about 2500 rpm, it dies away. As it goes through the gears, and the revs drop back down into this range, it begins again. Does anyone else hear this?

I'm assuming it is the turbo charger spinning up, but as I've never had a turbocharged car before, I just want to check this is nothing that needs checking out.

Hi
I'm starting to heard the same rasp coming from the engine bay at the same RPM range. :roll:
I only noticed it two days ago when I had the radio switched off while driving.
I can clearly heard the exhaust but the rasp seems to be coming from the engine bay on the drivers side.
I am driving the 2.0 TSI petrol, have you the same engine?
