As an auto technician that often works on high performance engines that make similar or more hp/tq , this is by far the noisiest engine I've heard. It would seem to me that with better machining of the gears or modified design, this noise that does in fact come from the valve train drive chain and IMS components, could be reduced significantly .
I am still getting used to my new wheels, after owning a modified 550 hp Audi RS6, which I loved. My biggest issue I had since acquiring the RS6, and what led me to off it, was the slushbox. It sucked, and all the cars I have owned in the past, were six speeds. So, it's like coming home, driving this incredible Porsche. I really love this car!
However, it does make some excessive normal noise IMHO, and I am not used to that. All of my Audis have had relativity silent engines in comparison. I have owed many cars that had, or I had made have, far more HP that a stock 996 tt, and none of them rattled like this. But I realize from much reading, and the great responses I have gotten from the Rennlist members, that I'm just gonna have to get used to it.
Still love the car though! It is indeed badass, in both performance and looks. Plus, I find myself smiling much more often when I get behind the wheel of the 996tt than I did with S4,s RS4's and the RS6!!!

Post a video of the noise.
It could be a clutch fork/throwout bearing noise.
The front of the engine faces the rear of a 911. The rear is where the trans lives.
If someone replaced the Dual Mass Flywheel (DMS) and put a lightweight flywheel on it the trans will rattle at idle. But it would stop when you step on the clutch.
