Default On throttle sound in RS

RS owners please advise. There is a discernible sound like a click or a clunk followed by revs. Pretty sure it is normal, just wondering if anyone knows the mechanics behind it.

People have asked about this in the past and most have said it is from the side air intakes.

I don't know the exact reason for this one but all the noises from box, diff, engine is exactly what I love most about this car. I must admit when I drove out of the garage I also thought there was something wrong as the noises are stronger than in any of the previous cars and I was expecting a very sanitised car. Fortunately they have kept it as pure as possible (for road use).

Thank you all. The RS is very different from a "civilian" 911.
